Fast for under 100 lbs of iron. I'm sure the big boys must have things much faster. Full KDE in 109 minutes seemed pretty good to me, and it's fun to watch 12 processors max out at the same time. 3 drive RAID1 for Gentoo and backups, 2 drive RAID0 for where the VMs will run. 1 extra drive in the box in case a drive goes bad one of these days. A couple of packages in this OpenRC upgrade aren't building. I hope they are less important. So far groff and help2man have failed so I did --resume --skip-first and moved on for now. If I get to the end, do the hand edits and manage to reboot then I'll do an emerge -e @system just to make sure things are really OK before dealing with @world. Thanks, Mark
