Nobody set out to sabotage Gentoo and Bill did the best job he knew with
the information readily available. We announced the idea a couple of
weeks before and quite frankly we were surprised by the lack of interest
we got from the Gentoo users. We didn't think there were that many of
them. I hope the next test will be considered fair and maybe we will get
more feedback *before* we do the tests.

I hope to convince Xtreme to lend one computer and three HDD. That way i
can lend a HDD to Bill to do the optimisations a couple of weeks before.
The computer I was discussing with Andrew @ Xtreme is a Hyper-Threaded
P4 with an Intel entry server board and 512 MB DDR. Otherwise we will
use one of ours.
