Congrats. I hope it goes well.

There are still times I wish I was running Gentoo - the documentation,
camaraderie and deep technical knowledge of the group, but I just
don't have time or patience to iron out issues with applications when
Gentoo isn't a supported distro. Still, for something like a NAS box it
makes sense if everything you run is sour\ce code coming from the
Gentoo code stores.

Cheers,
Mark


It is basically a base system with nfs, encryption and LVM added.  I'm not adding a whole lot of stuff.  At this point, it is console only.  I had the same with Ubuntu.  Since I'll remove the monitor and keyboard later, all I need is to be able to ssh in when it gets booted up.  It boots fast too.  Ubuntu had a few points where it waited for a while.  A couple times, it had a two minute wait which makes the boot time pretty long.  I think the Gentoo install boots in less than a minute.  It might be more than a minute but if it is, it isn't by much.  I figure if I hit the power button and wait 3 minutes, it should be booted and giving me the evil eye for making it wait.  It's a lot faster than Ubuntu.

I did have a small battle with dracut and getting Grub to see both the kernel and init thingy.  Once I got that sorted, it went fairly easy.  Oh, I got to remember to add -1 to make.conf too.  I knew I forgot something. 

I to find Gentoo to be much better documented.  There were places where the old BIOS and efi info got a little confusing but eventually I figured it out.  I been trying to think of a way to color code the docs but I can't figure out a sensible way.  You got BIOS and efi, openrc and systemd and several other smaller things that one has to decide on and take different steps.  One would run out of colors or the colors themselves would get confusing.
