I figure I have to keep the existing Ubuntu install happy for a couple
of weeks.  This is a work laptop and the Ubuntu side is productive
right now, so gentoo is my spare time conversion, and only after I
have it doing everything the Ubuntu install does, can I muck up
Ubuntu.  It also is a handy reference if I get in a gentoo corner,
like setting up X or KVM.
