eminenz: Yeah... as I recall... it was that Administrator != uid: 0 was the problem... it was some other UID number, and that's what Portage b0rked about. It didn't like the fact that its effective user ID was not 0. Which is how it detects if it's running as 'root' or not.

Microsoft seem to like randomly generated keys, their OS is full of them... No wonder it behaves so random. ;-)

Here's a recent development: the Debian Interix Port http://www.debian-interix.net/. Found it while revisiting some Interix stuff at the /Tools forums. Something to chew over perhaps.

A little discussion is over here: http://www.interix.com/tools/tm.aspx?m=11897.
