"That kicks ass... I wonder if I'll be able to boot it up on my school's super-fast comps... ::grin::"

Heh maybe, on my district's comps I disable booting from anything except the hard drive, lock the bios and lock the case. Mainly because teachers don't like to follow rules, reinstall windows on it and get it infected with viri and spyware.

I have been with Gentoo since 1.4_rc4 (pre 2004.0) and I absolutely love it. by far the most customizeable dist I have used (and I tried quite a few). Glad to see a livecd with X again havent seen one since 2.4.20 with the distcc disk.

I really hope gentoo grows (more) in popularity so people will stop offering open source software in binary packages.
