[Adam Ashley]

a GRP is pretty simple, bit more involved than a typical RH install but
still really no hassle, and the documentation is excellent.

although with the spec machines sen originally mentions its prob only
about 3 to 5 hrs to go from stage one to running X, assuming you have a
local source of tarballs.
