Re: [gentoo-dev] Gentoo on VMWare - few ideas

[tuxp3]

Well, for some time now, whenever I'm in windows I usually have VMWare
running my Gentoo install, but the GUI never works.. but the only thing I
need is deamon server processes (apache/samba) and I'm happy. Would like
to have more info on getting X to work, but meh.

(note, this is running a REAL gentoo inside of vmware. The only thing I
forget to do sometimes is shutdown the Gentoo VM before shutting down
windows.)

Again, would anyone know what will happen to ~x86 gcc?, Will it become
gcc40 or just use the stable x86 gcc for everyone? (except those who are
already playing with gcc40 at their own risk)
