Hi,
Just found out that http://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/ftp.gentoo.org/ (French mirror

Is there anyone that can be notified for that ?

No, server is a software concept, a program that waits and responds to
inbound calls, the X-server is just that. A client is a program/user

Hello, Gentoo.
I got a nasty shock earlier on this evening when I was updating my
(still newish) system. Around (perhaps) 70 packages to be updated or
reloaded, several of them big packages. What's going on?
There were lots of qt and kde packages being sucked in. But what stood

Try flashing something that supports the legacy mode (MBR and so on).
Also I think reinstalling Gentoo would be easier than upgrading it.
Do you still want to use it? If so, rem
Back in 2009, I bought an Asus EEE netbook, which I called Horace,
& installed Gentoo alongside Windows, which I've never used.
Gentoo was last updated in 2015 ; the device is in good repair.
Recently, I checked Horace & he still does 1 of his intended jobs,
ie reading & editing texts of novels
