Well, I am currently on what I hope is the tail end of the stage one bootstrapping process for installing Gentoo. The advantage to compiling everything from source using their BSD-like Portage system. We’ll see how this turns out in a bit. Supposedly 1.4 final is coming out this month if things don’t work out for me now. In other tech news my twin 80-gig Western Digital hard drives came in today, and I got them mirroring just fine. However it got an itch going, so I’m setting up a full-fledged Linux file server using Samba to talk to Windows, ReiserFS as the file system to be stable and fast (Thanks Mat!), and it’s going to have half a terabyte of storage when all is said and done. All the computers on our network are going to do automated backups to this machine on a nightly basis.
