i have used genkernel for a long time and all of my genkernel
compilation works really good.
i have (counting, 1 very very big production server, 2 small production
server, 3 home server, 4 +5 +6 + 7 +8 of vms runing genkernel with
several services such as mail mail filtering web server and monitoring)
so what can i say? all these machines will say other then you.
