If the box is broadcasting, no extra configuration is needed. If the box is not broadcasting, you need to give the win98 box a static IP (just pick one that's not in use) and make the gateway the Gentoo box's IP.

What makes you think this is a Gentoo problem? If this is indeed a software problem (which I doubt) then it's the kernel's fault, not Gentoo's.

While it seems to be "disk specific," you may notice that you can no longer read from your disk after you try to do so initially, or you may find that your system locks up entirely. In order to prevent this, pass the following command before you try any hdparm stuff. I also would not recomend booting from your Seagate disk just yet. echo max_kb_per_request:15 > /proc/ide/hde/settings Of course, it is entirely possible that you will not experience any of the said problems prior to passing the above command.

Amen. Sysadmins are the downfall of both operating systems. Unfortunately,
it's a lot easier to get behind in patches (unless you are using some nifty
package management like portage ;)) in a Linux distribution than it is in
Windows 2003, for example.

What a terrible assumption. A well thought out and planned attack can be executed and completed sucessfully against Linux than it can Windows.

It should be: maybe. Are we close? No. The day my grandmother can get over the learning curve of managing her own Gentoo box, then we're "close." I do not entirely agree with the opinion that it should be, however. I do not want Linux to be so user friendly that I can no longer use it properly (think Redhat, Mandrake, et al).

When I read this, I almost wanted to rip my hair out ;). I do feel that this could spark a debate of emacs vs. vim proportion (well, maybe not *that* large). However, top posting is one of *the* most annoying things I have EVER come accross. It happens WAY too frequently here (*especially* on here on the GUML) and on the LKML. I find it _much_ harder to follow a thread that has been broken by top posting. Mind you, if you have a _proper_ cleint (KMail does this beautifully), threads that have no new messages are collapsed when you switch to a certain folder, and threads with new messages are expanded. Also, your 'Goto Next Unread' button is your friend. Top posting is out of hand on this ML, IMHO. When a thread has 7 top posts in one day, it's just plain silly.

I can not possibly sift through the difference between some users' messages and their signatures. Maybe it is due to the rampant incoherence on /. that I can not tell what is a signature and what is a "writing." However, you do add some sort of closing to a written letter (email or snail-mail) before your name, do you not? > Also, on other mailing lists I'm on, links are often put in numbered > footnotes.

No, this is a stylistic error. Believe it or not, email (at least to this ML) is written in English. While English may not govern where footnotes are to go, bibliographical style sheets do. Seeing as how the GWN merely cites the web address and disregards the author, access date, publish organization, et al, I doubt they are following a standardized style sheet. So yes, it is partially the writer's "choice" in that they can choose what style sheet to follow or whether to disregard style sheets entirely. Although, generally writers of large or widely read publications should follow a standardized style sheet -- It's just "writer's common courtesy".

Aside from that, my favorite aspect of Gentoo is the ease of keeping it going once the install is done. I referred to it as "low-maintenance" to a Windows-using friend and I thought he was going to recommend me for an exorcism (despite the fact I am Jewish ;)).

From reading your responses, it sounds (no pun intended) that you were using a Sound Blaster. In which case, in your kernel configuration, you should have the "Creative SBLive! (EMU10K1)" option marked as N, (< >) and the "OSS sound modules" option marked as M (). Once you recompile your kernel, reboot, etc., log in as root and `emerge emu10k1`. Then, `modprobe emu10k1` and you should be good to go. Just to make sure that the emu10k1 module is always loaded at boot, do `echo "emu10k1" >> /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4`.

I don't know how sparingly you enabled things in the kernel, but I am guessing if you weren't sure on something, you turned it off. If this is the case, go through the kernel config again and enable anything you aren't 100% sure about.

Okay, please allow me to make something clear on the logic of the wheel group. _If_ your root password is god-forbid leaked (and you have root login from a console or SSH disabled as you should), then it would be impossible for a normal user to get to the root account unless they were already in the wheel group. Now, if you go around giving everybody wheel, then you're defeating the purpose of the group. You should really only have one wheel member, and that's your normal user account. I have sysadmin friends who have a new user account (with a random username) that is in the wheel group created weekly just for paranoia reasons. Oh, and another thing, NEVER use the same password for your root account as you do for the account(s) that is in wheel. That way, if someone knows both your wheel account and root password but not the wheel account's password, you're still okay.

I don't mean to be rude, but that is a *very* sloppy method of doing vhosts.
Allow me to attach my vhosts config. With this config, icons still work in
directory listings and cgi scripts work anywhere in a vhost's docroot. With
this config, the directory hierarchy is in this fashion: "/www/www.foo.com/"
where you place all of the content for www.foo.com in that directory. Now,
let's say you want a different site (bar.foo.com) to have a different
docroot: Just place all of bar.foo.com's docroot files in
"/www/bar.foo.com/". The only complaint you may have with this method is
that if you want foo.com to have the same docroot as www.foo.com, the best
idea is to make a symlink. It just gets annoying when you're hosting 5+
domains like myself and you try to look at /www/.
BTW, all off the stuff is already in the vhosts, so it's really
just a matter of including this conf. Also, you can feel free to delete the
mt.cfg stuff, that's just for the MovableType blogs I host.

Cox This is not a wise topic. This is like a "emacs vs. vim" discussion. You're bound to get so many biases in this topic with a good and solid conclusion that it would just be pointless. Just for the rcord, however, I used QMail for a while then switched over to Postfix with virtual mailboxes. I find that the latter is much easier to maintain. If you have a day to spend on getting Postfix with virtual mailboxes set up then working properly, that would be the route that I would suggest. Otherwise QMail is easier, IMHO, to configure (especially when using something like webmin). -- Zack Gilburd http://tehunlose.com pgp0.pgp Description: signature

Upgrading your Firebird nightly is rather pointless, IMHO. Why not just get a build that works and use it? Usually the nightly builds are only going to mess things up, anyways.

I agree with Mookta here, there is nothing wrong with the vanilla sources. If
you are heavily anxious to use the .21 kernel with some (or all) of the
current gentoo-sources, you're more than welcome to try to patch up a .21
with the gentoo-sources patches. (Although, I doubt everything would patch
cleanly. Even if it did, you would likely run into a panic or oops.)
The best thing to do would be to apply patches selectively or just use the
vanillas without any patches.
