I'm not convinced this is the right approach. The whole point of Gentoo is that if offers users a LOT of choice. We should of course present reasonable defaults, but we shouldn't send them hunting for alternative guides and trying to figure out what steps to substitute where anytime they change things. If they just want a default configuration they might as well just use something like Sabayon or Debian. Besides, once you start demoting all the options you invite the inevitable war over what the defaults should be. -- Rich
