I appear to be having good success with my new "Digital Server 5000", a.k.a
'rawhide'. This was designed as a NT-only 'white box' for resellers to
integrate. The newest LiveCD works just fine, detects all the hardware,
including the USB. I will be forgoing the included hardware raid controller
in favor of md software-raid. When I have built up to full operational level
I'll submit any useful information I discover for inclusion into the alpha
install-guide.

Please do, I want to install Gentoo on mine also. I've been interested for 
awhile as I'm starting to need things that I don't get (easily) with Debian. 
Tell me, did you have to do anything special to get the kernel to recognise 
both processors?

Mine is a uniprocessor 533Mhz. It is slotted for a second daughtercard,
though. Don't know how much additional processors would cost.

I did build gentoo on a quad-ppro box about a year ago, and I seem to
remember needing to add something to make.conf to get it  to run 4 parallel
gcc processes.
