Dear All,

Thanks to everyone for your advice. I really appreciate it.
I think you've convinced me that:

  a)I want to have a go with Gentoo.
  b)That everything I want/need can be done, and done well.
  c)That it will take quite a bit of time (but be worth it)

Given (c), I shall probably stick with (and finish) my half-installed
Mandriva system on the ThinkpPad for now - but it seems like an
excellent reason to buy that Dual-Opteron desktop I have been dreaming
about :-)    When I do, I'l be back!

Thanks a lot for your help - and Happy New Year.

Best wishes,

Richard
