Gentoo "Whoa" moment of the night

Starting nmap 3.50 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2004-03-29 23:37 EST

bash-2.05b# cat /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf | grep nolisten

This is the most secure Linux distro OOB that I've ever seen… Not even X is listening (which is the first thing that I turn off).
Damn.
Meanwhile, I'm bulding myself a system – compiling and installing huge numbers of packages and all the packages on which they depend. Real work intensive, right? Wrong – I'm reading a novel. Now, I'm going to bed. It will compile, and be ready for me in the morning.
Gentoo: They do the drudge work. You do the hacking.
Methinks I need some pimp Gentoo stickers.
Hey,
Set it for 115V and plug it in to 230V.
Yes, this happened at work today.
