Gentoo

By Joe Brockmeier | Published: 8/5/2004

Have recently been playing around with Gentoo...

So far, I have to say that I'm liking it, though it's awfully time-consuming when it comes to emerging packages. I assume that once you have a stable system that is not so much an issue. But getting all the tools installed that I want is definitely taking a while.

Right now I'm emerging XFce 4.0.5 — apparently, xfce is still the 3.8.x series. Why, I have no idea.

Surprised to find that sound just works, quite pleasantly surprised as a matter of fact. Wireless is another matter entirely. Yeesh. I wish wireless were a bit easier with Linux. Damn wireless card manufacturers...

    Check out http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=122435 for wireless config in gentoo. Works great for me - whether I'm at home or work, it'll connect to the best available AP.
