I know Gentoo quite well as I run it on most of my production servers here at work.
What I am talking about is something that you could boot off a cd, go through a short setup process (tcp/ip config, etc), then administer it through a web interface. Something that would take only a couple minutes to get up and running.
Is there a distro out that mirrors the functionality of this device?
Something like Knoppix only have it JUST serve as a small Samba/NFS server with a web interface. Something like that would be ideal for an older box with a large harddrive where you don't need the capabilities and bloat of a full distro, but would like to use it for simply a backup or music server at home or something.
But would have dropping your speed from 75 to 65 (assuming the speed limit was 70) in that particular case have stopped you from hitting that deer? Probably not. I've hit plenty of animals in my day to know that often its more about luck than anything.
Moral of the story is 75 was probably a perfectly safe speed to travel at that particular time, you simply had a run of bad luck.
