After reading about it on the gentoo.org webpage I became very excited thinking I have found something that might cause me to switch to another distro (I've tried about 4 so far - primarily just out of curiosity and not out of a desire to replace Slackware). The only thing stopping me not being able to buy the full distro on CD, with documentation in paper format (electronic documentation doesn't do much good while you are installing the OS on your computer). Anyway, hope you guys are planning on eventually making such a product available. I don't have a high speed internet connection, and I doubt I will have one any time soon. Good luck with the distro. - Kurt
