"One of the great things about this new livedvd besides that it contains
over 1200 packages is that it now supports full / persistency meaning
that you can boot this livedvd, make tweaks as you like and reboot while
retaining those changes. It's more like a Gentoo to Go if you ask me. "
and
"Another great feature which will be ported to all minimal install cds
is support for UEFI. This image even boots on MAC OSX hardware! Yes you
heard it right! "

nice pie, well done to the gentoo devs
