Thanks Gentoo. |

A combination of a new install, rsyncing all personal data, |
| 28 |
distfiles, /etc has worked wonders. Its nice to see that it is quicker |
| 29 |
to install Gentoo and get it up and running pretty much as previously |
| 30 |
than installing another well known operating system which took hours to |
| 31 |
download updates and hours of searching the web for right drivers. And |
| 32 |
this is totally free. LONG LIVE GENTOO |
