Gentoo & Mother

About 2 years ago I purchased a dell server, naming it mother...

Well as it turns out, I'm pretty happy with my setup. I've spent a LOT of time customizing / optimizing it (as usually is the case with Gentoo).

But there's just one small problem: I'm beginning to realize that I've come so far, I don't remember how I got here! I'm not sure how long it would take for me to rebuild everything if this server ever went down. I'm not even sure if I'd remember all the customizations / installs I've made, let alone HOW I made them...

So, in that light, I've decided to carefully "blog" all the changes I make to my server on its wiki page (http://bluwiki.com/go/BluWiki:Mother). Hopefully this will help me figure out what I've done, if I ever need to do it again. As an added benefit, it might also help others do the same...
