Yep, gentoo has every imaginable variety of kernel, including XFS, but in fairness to the curmudgeon, it's not fully LSB compliant, nor is it likely to be until LSB comes up with a sensible approach for multiple versions of KDE, etc.

Life on the dark side is pretty good, but I wouldn't want to try it without a high speed internet connection.  Interestingly enough, one of the gentoo core developers worked via modem last time I knew.

Life in Denver has now turned to the white side - 1+ foot on the ground and 1+ more expected overnight.  My daughter is overjoyed by two days off school.
