[PLUG] More Gentoo Questions


Ok, I just got my gentoo booting last night.  And, I have a couple more questions

#1 - it looks like i have a partition mounted twice in the same location
more specifically, /dev/hda2 is mounted at / twice.  I was wondering if
this is because this is listed in /etc/fstab and b/c there is a line in
the boot loader that says real_root=/dev/hda2 (from the gentoo install
handbook).  could this be the cause?  If so, how should I fix it so that
it will boot up (as I won't have physical access for a while, should
something be messed up), and is there a way to fix it now that it is
running and not mess up the whole thing (umount / is probably a bad idea)

#2 - will gentoo always compile the newest version -- ex, if it knows about 
4.1, 4.2, 4.22, will it take 4.22 over the others?  Also, if I need a
different setting, can/should I alter the config scripts?

#3 - where is the best place to get information about gentoo and the likes

thanks
