[gentoo-user] Xorg-server crashing constantly
I'm running xorg-server-1.13.4-r1 and XFCE using slim as login Whenever I start tree applications like: two Firefox and try to open Thunderbird or Thunderbird + Firefox and try to open another instance of Firefox xorg-server is crashing and logging me out. What I mean to say I can start any two of them but not the third one. xorg-log is not showing anything. It has been happening on my other machines as well. -- Joseph

I shouldn't be saying this, but is there any specific reason you're using acroread?

Howdy, Been busy learning Linux :-) got new email other was getting crowded. I'm planing on installing Gentoo on a few systems and I was wondering to save bandwidth, i could install portage to the other Gentoo installs from my system instead downloading from mirrors?

[gentoo-user] wget with http proxy
I'm setting up a dedicated firewall / http proxy-cache (Squid) for my home network, with user authentication in 'digest' mode. Works fine with browsers but sometimes emerge fails. Turns out that some downloads are done with wget and wget supports only 'basic' authentication with proxy servers. So now I see the following options: 1. use 'basic' authentication on the proxy, or 2. bypass the authentication for non-browser requests (e.g. using a 'browser' ACL element?), or 3. convince emerge to use a different http downloader that supports 'digest' authentication. I'll probably go with 1 or 2 but nevertheless is there any possibility to pursue 3? thanks, raffaele
