Re: [gentoo-catalyst] GSoC: Create a Web-based Gentoo image builder

Thanks!

When I first read about this idea I was very enthusiastic because I
remembered my first attempt to install Gentoo. A tool that would
simplify the process, but still keep the Gentoo "philosophy" is really
useful.

To be honest, what really concerns me is the architecture of the server
(cpu and hdd). But if I succeed in making it, even for one connection
simulated on my computer, then I am sure that it will be a great success.

Thank you very much for the link!
