I'll try to make you understand it..... |

GRML ? Knoppix ? other LiveCD ? What for, man ? Using extra rescue |
| 19 |
systems is a liberty, of course, but why should it be a must ? I |
| 20 |
always installed my gentoo from the current gentoo installCD since I |
| 21 |
see no gain in downloading and burning one more system... when I have |
| 22 |
a portage-inside one at disposal ! I don't want to take care about |
| 23 |
versions and news about other distros/rescue systems, since I am using |
| 24 |
Gentoo which provides me all I need to setup. So, of course, as far as |
| 25 |
one of linux distro at least will provide a way to boot up an |
| 26 |
up-to-date kernel, all the other distros won't have to maintain their |
| 27 |
own releases, but in the end, I am not sure that the whole community |
| 28 |
wants to launch the Windows Ubuntu installer, download the required |
| 29 |
packages manager from the web and update the system from the good |
| 30 |
repository. |
