<p> Why is the 1.2 ISO out there and so visible :-(
<p> Are you using Gentoo? I am wanting a Linux box for wireless intrusion

something more svelte ... and the 'BSD like ports' is definitely an attraction.

<p>Also, Gentoo 1.4rc1 ISO is out -- the networking has better auto-detection
in
<br>that, plus gcc 3.2 support. I'd go that route instead.
