Don't want to seem i recommend it, but you can try the Sabayon-miniCD |
| 37 |
for a new install. |
| 38 |
Don't know how actual the kernel/userspace are but in all cases newer |
| 39 |
then 2006.1. |
| 40 |
It's a Gentoo-based (slightly modified) distro. |
| 41 |
A good thing is it updates it's install-CDs quite often. |
