[ubuntu-uk] possible to install ubuntu like gentoo?

[matt at mattjones.me.uk]

Are you sure this isn't a hardware issue? Could it be overheating/a  
drive DOA? What components are you using, as there may be issues  
relating to drivers that are causing the instability.

As to the Installing Ubuntu like Gentoo thing I have absolutely no  
idea, but I suspect not.
