        <description><![CDATA[decided to delete libatk and libgtk on his Ubuntu box, no, do not ask me why...apparently is has some thing to do with it was 2am and he had 2 cookies at Starbucks or some such crap.  Anyway, his Gnome interface was completely, completely borked (suprise suprise).  I used this as an opportunity to get him to buy a new hard drive and install Debian Etch.  He has used Ubuntu for a little over a year now, so he is familiar enough with linux to manage pretty well in any debian based system.  I would imagine an rpm based system would confuse him until he gor his head wraped around the package management.I installed a Ubuntu 6.06 box and set up all the software etc how I wanted it.  Then did a distro upgrade to 6.10.  I had to re install my video drivers.  Then I did a distro upgrade to 7.04.  This time it installed video drivers for the kernel, but it seems to have broken beryl and VMWare.  I spent a few  hours trying to make VMWare work, but it kept throwing up kernel errors, even after using the kernel patch for Feisty.  I likes my VMWare, its one of my required apps, no matter the platform I am running.  (As for beryl, there is a complete repository for Feisty, s I didn't bother fixing it, as it would have jsut been amatter of reinstalling the right versions from the right trees.) So, the Ubuntu box is going away.  I may look into LFS this weekend, but realisticly, I don't have the energy for that crap anymore.  I speend 6 to 8 hours a day in fromt of random computers, when I get home, I just wnt it to work, and show me nice video, and sound half way decent.&quot;FreeBSD and Debian have the best install processes I've seen on free unices.&quot;I am assumeing that by best you mean functional and customizable with minimal hair pulling.  I have to assume this is what you mean, as Debian has NEVER had the prettyest installer, and I think I know how you think enough by now to realize pretty just isn't enough in an OS for you. And if so, then I have to agree with you about Debian.  I have not installed freeBSD yet, so can't comment.  Debian's installer is far from pretty, but it does the job well.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[&quot;I still think people should try a stage 1 gentoo install or old slackware install, just to see how far linux has come in the user friendly department in the last few years.&quot;No kidding!  I recently worked with someone on a Slackware install.  Ultimately, it was abandoned in favor of Debian -- in part because the installer almost isn't an installer at all.  Slackware is unacceptably close to LFS in convenience, and unacceptably close to Ubuntu in customizability of the install process.  Screw that.FreeBSD and Debian have the best install processes I've seen on free unices.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[&quot;Ricer&quot;Hmm...I should have got that.Over all your replay was well written and made sense.  I will have to note that I haven't had a working Gentoo system in 2 years, as aI got tired of fixing the da*n thing.  But, as my first real linux install, I learned a ton about command line usage and file system layout.  I still default to the command line for most tasks.I will have to look in to LFS again.  I did a few years ago, but for some reason never went that route.&quot;likely get a lot more out of LFS or FreeBSD than from Gentoo.&quot;These words are very true.  As much as I want to like Gentoo, it is very unstable (I compare it to Win 98).  If you actually want to get work done, and not just play, even Fedora would be a better choice.  But, all that beinf said, I still think people should try a stage 1 gentoo install or old slackware install, just to see how far linux has come in the user friendly department in the last few years.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Obviously, I'm exaggerating a bit with the title of this post.&quot;'Gentoo is for ricers.'I don't eben know what this means.&quot;It's a reference to people who buy econo-box cars and &quot;rice&quot; them out -- put stickers and ground effect lights on them, add giant ugly aluminum spoilers and flimsy plastic air dams, replace engine parts to add more color and shininess (and maybe add half a horsepower or so), and attach gigantic coffee-can tailpipes to increase the sound the engine makes when revving it.  It's a play on the term &quot;raced out&quot;, which refers to using after-market parts, tuning, and modifications to increase vehicle performance.  &quot;Riced out&quot; refers to silly crap people do that make them feel like they have fast cars when, in fact, they're still kind of slow and pathetic.  The use of the term &quot;rice&quot;, of course, refers to the fact that the econo-box cars people use for this sort of thing (because they can't afford actual performance automobiles, or are too dumb to know you can do more with a Viper than a Civic) are almost always from Asian automakers.There was a hilarious website about the subject at http://funroll-loops.org a while back, but the guy who maintained it seems to have let the domain registration lapse.  I was going to link to it.  Too bad.Anyway . . . there are people who use Gentoo and don't fit the &quot;ricer kiddie&quot; stereotype, of course.  There are actually some very good technical reasons to use Gentoo.  There just aren't many such reasons, considering that whatever your biggest reason for it, chances are pretty good that the same reason applies even more so to some other OS (as I suggested with my earlier comments about choosing FreeBSD over Gentoo for purposes of an OS that works well compiling from source).&quot;Hard to disagree with, as many times &quot;patches&quot; in the Gentoo tree will be broken depending on the current flags and packages you have. I had log in systems get hosed after an update once.&quot;I've known people who always went with default configurations using Gentoo, and still had stability issues with upgrade.  The running gag is &quot;KDE is broken this week.&quot;&quot;Never noticed this problem, but then again, I do not do any major number crunching.&quot;You don't have to do heavy number crunching for that to be a problem, though you might not notice right away.  Floating-point operations are inherently inaccurate on the computers you use every day, but programmers who know what they're doing know how to account for that, especially within the limits of very specific accuracy requirements.  When you compile software using compilation flags that specifically screw with the floating-point accuracy the programmer expected, though, it can introduce instability and unexpected program behavior.While Gentoo software sometimes has stability problems for other reasons, some of those compile flags that are so popular for Gentoo users can make things even worse.&quot;Well I can agree with the linux from scratch, but if you set up a stage 1 Gentoo system, it is much like a linux from scratch system.&quot;Gentoo compilation is a completely different animal from compilation on other systems.  There are specialized procedures and layers of tools provided that automate a lot of the process.  There's nothing wrong with that in and of itself -- in fact, it's good that Gentoo provides specialized tools to make things work more smoothly for its users -- but it insulates the user from the way software compilation works elsewhere.  It's kinda like the difference between learning to program by studying languages like Perl and Java, then working for a company that does a lot of development in those languages and collaborates with other companies on various projects, and learning to &quot;program&quot; by getting hired by a corporation that has its own really crappy proprietary language that it uses in a vacuum and never trades code with any other companies.Compaq, years ago, preferred hiring people with zero experience (and even less knowledge) as its technicians, then training them on Compaq systems specifically.  Because of Compaq's proprietary, nonstandard system configurations and technician procedures at the time, its technicians tended to have a very difficult time getting jobs anywhere else.  This made it relatively easy for Compaq to keep employees -- they wouldn't leave very often, because they couldn't get jobs with Compaq's competitors.  While this obviously (one would hope, anyway) isn't the reason for Gentoo handling compilation differently from the norm, a similar effect occurs: learning to compile things with Gentoo is almost like not learning to compile things at all.&quot;But, that being said, its a good way to see how the linux system is put together.&quot;It's a much better way to learn these things than, say, doing everything with GUI tools in Ubuntu or (worse yet) Linspire, but there are better ways to learn about the system.  That was my point -- that, if you want to learn about how a unixlike OS is put together, you'd likely get a lot more out of LFS or FreeBSD than from Gentoo.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[They want you to think that.  I am sure that was slapped down in court, but I do not remember enough to spout off about it.  I am pretty sure that we own our copy of the OS.  I beleive that is why there is so much confusion as to when you can use your OEM copy or not.  If we replace a motherboard, is it a new PC?  The hard drive?  I know M$ keeps changing the rules, partly to confuse, partly because they had to.If we were renting it, M$ would be asking for yearly license fees.  (In addition to the purchase price of the client OS, the purchase price of the server OS, and the Client Access license which gives you permission to let your two licensed OSs talk to each other over your own wires.  Is it any wonder I don't like or trust M$?)Have you noticed you just about cannot buy a pre-built PC without an OEM Windoze OS?  It reminds me of a short story about consumerism, (I think it was named &quot;The Subliminal Man&quot;, but it was a long time ago.)  This guy was talked into trading in his car for a new one instead of repairing it.  Soon he gets his oil changed, signs a ton of papers, and as he is driving away he realizes the mechanic just sold him a new car instead of an oil change.Every time we buy a PC, M$ has us buying a new OS because they say we cannot use the last copy on this PC, even when it is the same exact version.  It doesn't surprise me they do it, but it kills me that 99% of us just accept it!What is wrong with the people in this country?  How many millions of people bought PCs in the last decade with the OEM OS, and didn't even get the OS disks?  (Some got a restore partition instead, which didn't do them any good when the whole drive failed.)  It sure isn't because M$ and the PC Manufacturer couldn't afford the price of the CD.  It's because they can charge you for the OEM OS, (or use it to give the illusion of value to a new PC,) and also because they can literally force the acceptance of the latest OS this way.  M$ and the OEMs cannot discontinue support of the last OS until they have a &quot;critical mass&quot; of the new flavor in use.  Most of us don't want Vista, but they can force the critical mass to occur by forcing consumers to get it with their new PC.  They did it with Windoze ME, and they are doing it again with Vista.Wake up America!  We are a global laughing stock!  Europe is fighting this stuff.  China and other poor nations get around it by pirating instead of paying, but we continue to pay through the nose, (or bleed though it.)]]></description>

If Gentoo was a car, it would be a 1988 Jaguar.  Looks good, moves fast, needs tons and tons of tinkering.  Gentoo can be made to be very stable, but it requires a deal of patience and good knowledge of your system files and package versions, as well as flag usage.  In reality, in most peoples hands, you end up with a flaky system.  But, that being said, its a good way to see how the linux system is put together.  And since the compiles are done for you, you really do not learn that much about compileing programs for linux, that part &quot;just happens&quot;.  If you have a spare box and some time, its worth setting up, as its clearly documented, educational, and fun to do. But it is not good for a reliable system.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[No you don't (&quot;Talk too much&quot;). Everything you said is only too true, and needs saying as much as possible.Personally, I couldn't agree more.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[is a good choice.  I played with it for an afternoon, and would have kept it if I had not already spent a week rounding out a Ubuntu install.  Down the road, I deffinately reccomend a Gentoo install for you (not your mom), its a load of fun, and setting all the compile flags really, really does make a difference in speed.  I managed to get a Gentoo 2006.1 to complie on a 450Mhz Pentium (2 or 3)with 256 MB of ram.  The base system took 9 hours, and KDE took about 30 hours to compile, but, it booted into KDE 3.4 in about 1 min 12 sec (from cold start).  Programs such as Open Office opened slow, but ran fine once open.  I deffinately could not do to much multi tasking, but it ran at a functional level (better then Office 2000 on Win2k on an 800Mhz Celeron with 256Mb ram) and was stable.  I was very sad when that box finally gave up the ghost and died.]]></description>
