My Gentoo installation process didn't work! :( The most frustrating part of it is that the installation usually choked on decompressing the tarballs or compiling the software. So I went about installing Slackware on the machine last night, which we'll see if that worked, since I had to go to bed before I completed the installation.

I found out today that there are some machines one of my fraternity brothers wanted me to look at. Maybe I can get some parts out of that thing.
