They used the elilo bootloader, a modified kernel, and a hacked vesafb to boot from a USB drive. No GUI pictures for now, just white text on a black background. The distro of choice was Gentoo, and instructions and patches are promised this weekend."

Not bad, not bad. It's nice to see Gentoo in action on yet another system.

Oh god no, the last thing anyone needs is fucking Apple ricers. No offense to Gentoo users, of course, just to a certain portion of their users.
