I like gentoo, however I would exercise caution if you're deploying on real systems. We have also moved from binary distros to Gentoo a few years ago. Basically it was a choice between linux (gentoo) and *BSD. [...] The less updates, the less surprises and the less chance you'll somehow accidently break someone's site doing a simple update late some night. Gentoo is still a fairly moving target in this respect. Agree with the moving target bit. I think the secret is that if you run with gentoo you have to be prepared to upgrade EVERYTHING fairly often, and not bit by bit if you're uncomfortable with something it might be upgrading. I find that there are really two relatively pain-free upgrade policies for a production system. Either upgrade fairly often or forklift upgrade i.e. remove the old server and intall the new one. And yes, I do plan to just bit the bullet and backup, upgrade everything and then deal with any upgrade pains as they come.

You probably have enabled IPv6 in your kernel? sit0 is the interface for an ipv4/ipv6 tunnel. I don't think that it is related to your WiFi chip. The fact that you do not see the WiFi interface when your run ifconfig or iwconfig(?) means that the driver in question is not picking it up. The solution can be quite elusive, but short of hacking the driver itself you may want to: 1. emerge previous versions or later versions of the driver and try again. 2. Try ndiswrapper with the MS Windows driver at least until the Linux driver comes to a version that works with the AR5006EG chip.

[gentoo-user] Slow network performance
Hello I have a serious problem with network performance. I have 4 different vlan-s invisible to each other. On each of the vlan-s there are windows clients with file shareing enabled. There are some directories that need to be accessible from all vlan-s, so I've deployed a gentoo based proxy server. It's a Core2Duo with 5 ethernet adapters, one for every vlan + one for internet connection. On this proxy machine I have mounted mentioned directories using cifs, and shared them on all ethernet cards using samba. Here is my problem When I copy a file from any of the hosts to a local file system of proxy machine i get transfers of about 40 MB/s so it's ok. When I copy a file from proxy local file system to any of the hosts on any of the vlans I get very similar results. Unfortunatelly when I access proxy and try to copy a file from samba-shared directory from other vlan than I get 14 MB/s I'm quite confused and don't know what can be the problem, all NIC's are 1 GBit/s Two of them are Intel Pro 1000 (PCIExpress x1) One if integrated on motherboard (nvidia 5XX series chipset) Two are Dlink NIC's on regular PCI -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

The problem happens on Gentoo systems of a certain age and older. It happened here and not on a newer install on another box. I immediately traced it to somewhere in the docbook suite. Personally, what I did was I removed everything docbook, essentially, figuring that something was conflicting. # emerge --unmerge docbook-sgml-utils docbook-xml-simple-dtd docbook-xml-dtd docbook-sgml-dtd sgml-common SGMLSpm docbook-sgml docbook-dsssl-stylesheets build-docbook-catalog This removed all versions of these packages, obviously. At this point, esound built because it noticed the lack of docbook and it's documentation went together in a different fashion, which is where the ebuild was getting hung up. However, things will be needing docbook eventually, so this is what I ended up doing: # emerge build-docbook-catalog docbook-sgml This installed 14 packages for me, all relating to docbook. I redid the emerge on esound and it was also successful. So all I really did was clean up docbook. When I update, I use emerge -uD world so if I'm missing something with docbook in the future, then it'll get corrected as needed. I sat on this issue for a while, too. I don't like to go in and do sizable sandblasting like this if I don't have to but when it comes to slotted packages like parts of docbook, sometimes it's necessary as demonstrated in this case. Hope that works for you. -- Justin Patrin -- Statux [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

So: if the install of your rails app is scriptable, then yes, you should be able to write an ebuild for it. As for whether there is an eclass or whatever for rails apps, I don't know... Capistrano, http://www.capify.org/, looks like the tool for deploying rails apps? I was thinking of almost a desktop app once I get it workable. -Thufir -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
