   I took that one step further and set it up so that I can boot into   
   Gentoo and run the native XP install in a VM or boot into XP and run the   
   native Gentoo install in a VM :)   
      
   (Though I must always remember to shut down the VM and not just "pause"   
   it if I want to boot it for real later :P)

   I only discovered Gentoo relatively recently (two months ago or such; I   
   would have to look when I posted here for the first time).  I'm using   
   Linux since ages (I was running Slackware 2 in 1994 :D)  Gentoo is by   
   far the best distro I ever came across.  Why the hell I didn't try it   
   out sooner, no idea.  That will teach me to listen to the opinions of   
   the so-called "experts" (Gentoo is too   
   difficult/chaotic/breaks/insert-other-false-assumption-here).   
      
   My search for the perfect distro ended when I came to Gentoo.  Period.
