I can't understand how to ask dhcp for a static address.
I've read /etc/conf.d/net.example, but using
config_eth0=( netmask brd )
in /etc/conf.d/net configures my network interface _instead of_ asking
dhcp (the files in /var/lib/dhcpc are not updated).
If I use

What's happening about locales/languages?
I've tried to install PHP-Nuke and Xoops, but one of them (I don't

creates too long primary keys for MySQL.
So I remerged MySQL and replaced "utf8" with "latin1"
in /etc/mysql/my.conf.

I'm experimenting with VMWare.
I've installed VMWare Workstation (5.5.1.19175-r7 ebuild) and created
a Windows Virtual Machine.
Then I've installed VMWare Player (in another Gentoo partition), so I
can "play" the VM I've created.
It works fine. Running Internet Explorer under Linux is rather
