Re: [gentoo-user] Fairwell for now
> Gentoo is pretty stable.. the installer isn't > try the old way it's way better and makes you more familiar with your system I just finished (about a week ago) my first non-binary install of a linux distribution, compiling from a stage3, starting with the 2006.0 Gentoo Minimal Install CD. As someone who is still relatively new to Linux, I can attest that this was not very difficult, it simply requires patience and a lot of looking things up. Now that I've got my system up and running, I couldn't be happier I'd recommend trying this route, I'm glad I did. If I had gone with a graphical installer, I wouldn't know half of what I know now about Gentoo.. it was a great learning process.

Anyone got the same problem ? I have the same problem, I'm running 2.6.15-r1. I was thinking it was hardware related, as I've been unable to find any similar cases in forum/list/web searches.

The 'reject: msgtyp: 6' continues for hours prior as well.

Also, as you can see in the above example, I re-initialized pump at 07:13:33 and it very clearly states that it got a lease, though the errors persist afterwards. Before I re-initialized pump, my applications were behaving as though they had no internet connection (Gaim and Firefox), and after I re-initialized, they found the net just fine, even though those errors continued. I've searched the Gentoo forums and Googled, for 'reject msgtyp 6' and tried to find an error table of some sort for p

Re: [gentoo-user] FTP Server
Does anyone have any suggestions/preferences to a secure FTP server for Gentoo? Take a look at vsftpd. Their tagline: Very Secure FTP Daemon written with speed, size and security in mind. It's in portage, and I've been using it on a Gentoo system for some time now. I don't think it's ever had more than a half dozen or so simultaneous connections, so I'm not really giving it a workout, but I like it. I would *really* recommend that he does not use Frontpage. It produces crap code... I know nothing about Dreamweaver though. The latest iteration of Dreamweaver produces pretty good code.
