gentoo recovery

gentoo based rescue disk options - the lwn distributions page is a good starting point:
  1. sabayonlinux - appears to be kept up to date & comes in a mini-edition
  2. the official 2007.0 gentoo live CD is getting on a bit now (SATA) [update 2008.0 beta]
  3. the liveusb path is paved with bitrot.
  4. flashlinux from 2005.
  5. gnap - catalyst based...
  6. sysresccd - catalyst based... USB install instructions look good (and is what I used in the end)
  7. linux-live is a possible for pre-686 hardware
other random reading:
  1. lwn has a good/scary article on gentoo for developers
  2. paludis vs portage article
  3. random blog posts sometimes pertaining to gentoo; drobbins blog
