[LUAU] Gentoo
Has anyone had any luck installing Gentoo Linux (http://gentoo.org)? They have up-to-date ports out for both PPC, x86 and several others. From everything I hear it is a great distro, but I run in to numerous problems every time I attempt to install. I'm trying it on my Inspiron 4100, and I have yet to find any specific instructions for it.

I ultimately want to add it to the netboot bootloader as an option. Right now it's either install, ks or ltsp (default).

[luau] Gentoo emerge vs Debian apt-get
#apt-get -u upgrade #emerge -e world Who has used both and which do people prefer for keeping a server up-to- date for security patches and such. I have never used either of these distros, but I am thinking of using one for the upgrade of my server from SuSE 7.3. I want something easy to keep up-to-date. The server is a web, SquirrelMail, and Samba server. Mahalo, Dusty
Re: [luau] Gentoo emerge vs Debian apt-get
I personally find red carpet to be of good use for keeping my distro updated. Red Carpet is made by Ximian the same company that makes Evolution, an Outlook styled email, calendar, notebook, etc program.

Re: [luau] Gentoo emerge vs Debian apt-get
Looks like their April Fools joke got out a day early! I am begining to think Debian is the right choice, but I am still interested in Gentoo. I am starting to test them both. Dusty Dustin Cross wrote: #apt-get -u upgrade #emerge -e world Things have changed and gentoo is moving to the rpm format for package management. This link below is from the evolving slashdot discussion. http://www.gentoo.org/news/en/gwn/20030401-newsletter.xml I prefer Debian for a production machine with easy updating. If you use the stable version, you can be sure that running apt-get update and apt-get upgrade will keep you safe and secure within the Debian community. You will never have to pay anything for updates, and you have a frightfully large package base to choose from. I have not used gentoo, but it seems like a build it yourself debian distribution that requires a very good mind to keep it updated and stable. Considering your collection of and affinity for older hardware, debian can become your friend. I would consider it among the best server platforms unless you move over to freebsd. scott ___ LUAU mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://videl.ics.hawaii.edu/mailman/listinfo/luau
[luau] Gentoo Linux?
I've heard some very cool things about Gentoo Linux. Anyone out there tried it? The promise of a _completely_ optimized build that you tailor to what you want sounds fairly appealing. However, I've become attached to using RPMs, mostly with RH, but also with Mandrake. Anyone know if Gentoo at least supports SRPMs? Comments welcomed, -Jeff
