Gentoo anyone? – CPUFreak91

CPUFreak91 Member Posts: 2337 From: Registered: 02-01-2005	I wrote an article for Newsforge (yes they paid me) about Gentoo Linux. Check it out: http://os.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=06/03/15/228227 Some people have written interesting comments about Gentoo as well. (I'm interested in seeing what you think of my writing) ------------------ All Your Base Are Belong To Us!!! chown -r us ./base "After three days without programming, life becomes meaningless.'' -- Tao of Programming Book 2 [This message has been edited by CPUFreak91 (edited March 21, 2006).]

Most people have critizized Gentoo, and me writing about it but not my writing in general. ------------------ All Your Base Are Belong To Us!!! chown -r us ./base "After three days without programming, life becomes meaningless.'' -- Tao of Programming Book 2

Do they have a live disk available? Hey yeah, buddyboy. You can use a live disk. I know Knoppix and Ubuntu are available as live disks. If you go to the Ubuntu website, they will even send you a disk free of charge (free shiping even). Ubuntu: http://www.ubuntu.com Knoppix: http://www.knoppix.com the Knoppix live disk starts up and gets everything configured waaay faster than the ubuntu disk though. But anyways, I'm interested in finding more Live samples of Linux distros. Seems to me it would be a great way to find just the right distro. I'll check out the Gentoo site . Update: Ah cool, Gentoo has a live disk too! I'll be checking that out once I get broadband up and running again . ------------------ 1 Corinthians 15:58 So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and steady, always enthusiastic about the Lord’s work, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.

You could install your fave distro and use the Linux Live scripts to roll your own What does everyone think of portage? Good or bad? I'm not a huge fan but it's certaintly a lot better then most package managers. --D-SIPL ------------------ "One World. One Web.
