Let's also not forget Gentoo is the basis of the amazing SystemRescueCD http://www.sysresccd.org http://www.sysresccd.org

  Years ago, I once tried to rescue a disk with this and the CD would not boot the computer... apparently because it needed to access a hard disk to boot. Perhaps I am not well schooled in the arts of systemrescuecd, but that just made me laugh. They may have fixed this in the years since, but I lost any confidence in systemrescuecd. Instead, I booted with a BSD kernel having an embedded root filesystem and proceeded to rescue the disk. This is why I often can't take Gentoo users seriously. Some certainly know what they're doing (Google built their systems from Gentoo, didn't they?). But too many others only think they do.

    Replying to this just to let you know that it seems you've been hellbanned - each of your last three comments is [dead], although none seems offensive or inappropriate.

      Thanks. So what does it mean if you are "hellbanned" but the comments are neither offensive nor inappropriate? Is hellbanning automated, or is it the work of human judgment? Perhaps it is a technical issue that results in [dead] comments?
