How extraordinarily annoying. I have installed Gentoo once on my
laptop, when I got it, 3 years ago, and have kept it up to date with
the portage system. In most cases, that approach Just Works from
what I can see. I'
It's actually a good point Ryan - if they'd just backport more newer
builds of software, it would obviate the need for massive upheaval which
inevitably breaks half the things it does. The big-bang approach of
dist-upgrades between revisions just simply doesn't work as it's been
proven throughout

I just upgraded from ibex to jaunty and to Karm
I rebuilt fresh my HTPC box with Jaunty not long ago with ext4, but I
don't really see much of a difference than my favoured reiserfs. I
built my video lvm slice with xfs as it comes most recommended for
managing large files like the 12-20gb bluray rips it sees now, but once
I add some disk space
Yeah, it was a clean install of Karmic Alpha4 that's so far worked great.
That's also the only way to get the Ext4 benefits, so...yeah, I have

Heh. Sure. It just does auto-updates to the release versions that
break things.
Fedora 11 shipped a bit after Jaunty and caught a few more of the
