Hi Mark. It took me quite some months to get Gentoo installed, with some
breaks to get myself together again. It's up and running now Had a problem
getting Gnome and KDE 3.4 to install, but creating a link for libtools named
3.4 and linked to 3.5-2005xxxx fixed that. I've got a few music apps on it,
and am quite satisfied with Gentoo, but, not really for a real newbie to
install. I've had no app trashing problems from Fernando with FC1,2, and 3,
and Slackware 10.0 seems ok too.
Just a bit on the side. I'd really like to get Smack the drum machine on
Gentoo, and see there are some ebuilds for it, but don't know how to work
with them after I've downloaded them. Any hints so that I can use emerge to
install them? Thanks for watching. Nigel.
ps: I hope Linux distro's arn't going the
way of MS Windows XP & the
notorious app trashing service pack 2. But saying that, at least Debian
have the decency to tell you before you upgrade, which app's they're
going to trash.
I don't know what non-Gentoo users feel about the distro (and before
you answer let's start a new religion thread...) but I doubt this sort
of issue will come up this distro.
