   it really is, precompiled systems is not what i like to see here   
      
   current at home is slackware for the time being

   why did ipv6 not work for last 20 years then ?, kernel 4.4.132 x64 here do not   
   want kernel based ipv6 autoconfig

   systemd is only optional, prefer openrc stable here over the alternatives

   2.28 is not in gentoo yet, it might still be possible it just works, but   
   problem compileing it and using it one cant downgrade from it, so if i have   
   2.28 need patches that dont break 2.28

   aha, still freezed on 2.26 here

   not how things are done on gentoo here, precompiled problems solutions do not   
   be in gentoo

   are this precompiled or just patches ? :)
