No, they think that the type of user they are trying to attract is likely to be scared off by all that cryptic text scrolling by. They are probably right. Gentoo doesn't hide it, it merely clears the screen once the boot has completed successfully. If the boot halts, you can see where and, usually, why it stopped. Try that with openUbundora. -- Neil Bothwick If a turtle doesn't have a shell, is he homeless or naked?
