All, Many of you have, no doubt, learned of the recent loss to the Gentoo community. Known fondly as fmccor, Mr. Ferris E. McCormick’s death was tragic and unexpected. His many contributions to the greater open source community will always be remembered as well as his generous friendship. It is in due honor to his [...] A few weeks ago, I wrote an article on How To Run Multiple X Sessions Without Virtualization, which demonstrated how you can run multiple desktop environments at the same time on the same computer, and switch between them at the push of a button. I admit, this was somewhat of a warmup for the [...] This guide will help you to create gentoo paravirtualized xen guest under Debian Lenny. Since Gentoo 2008.0 release is deprecated, so we will use current gentoo stage. What: Gentoo 10 Year Anniversary Party Where: irc.freenode.net, #gentoo-birthday When: Sunday, October 04, 2009, in a timezone near you Introduction: Gentoo is turning 10 years old. For the last ten years, Gentoo has been committed to bringing the cutting edge source based distro to users that need more flexibility than binary packages can give them. [...] Dedicated to those who like order over chaos, to those who like simplicity over complexity, to those who think that less is more, to those that just want more for less. Sabayon 4.2 will catch you: just the best of the Out-Of-The-Box, KDE 4.2.4, multimedia applications and nothing more than what you need for your [...] The Gentoo embedded team would like to announce that we will be automatically building and releasing stages for ARM and SuperH/SH. We hope these stages will help out people interested in developing embedded linux applications. On the ARM side, we are currently releasing stages for the following CHOSTs: arm-unknown-linux-gnu (old ABI, in progress) armv4l-unknown-linux-gnu (old [...] The Cuban government has launched its own version of Gentoo Linux, dubbed “Nova.” The distribution was developed in response to embargo hassles in updating and acquiring Windows, as well as concerns over U.S. government spying via the OS, says an industry report. Developed by the Universidad de las Ciencias Informáticas (UCI), Nova was launched at [...] As you can see, your favorite website now displays more information, reflecting the activity that’s been going on behind the scenes all along. Thanks to popular demand, the latest blog posts from planet.gentoo.org, packages from packages.gentoo.org and security announcements are summed up on Gentoo’s home page. The long and arduous trek that the Gentopia Project has seen has finally come to an end. From it’s inception the project faced stiff push back from Gentoo and it’s developer base. In fact, the project was originally named “Project Utopia” mirroring Robert Love’s and Joe Shaw’s vision of a Linux desktop that simply worked. [...] What: Gentoo contributors get together to help each other fix bugs Where: irc.freenode.net, #gentoo-bugs When: Saturday, January 3, in a timezone near you What do you need to bring? A Gentoo system, an Internet connection and an IRC client Your bug. If you don’t have one, we will find you one to suit your area [...] I recently got the chance to talk with Gentoo Catalyst/Genkernel Release Engineering Lead Andrew Gaffney and developer/council member Donnie Berkholz about Gentoo Linux, the challenges it is facing, and the work that is being done by the community — from veteran developers to new users — to overcome them. OStatic: On the gentoo.org site, it [...] The September issue of the Gentoo Monthly Newsletter has been released. In this month’s issue: EAPI-2 approved, Gentoo-Quebec training, learn to use iotop, and more! In future releases, Gentoo will focus on a more back-to-basics approach that will give you up-to-date install media on a regular basis and make much better use of our human resources. We’re looking into automated weekly builds of the minimal CDs and stage tarballs as well as maybe an annual LiveCD release. We will keep [...] Due to my busy schedule of the previous week, it actually took me roughly a week to finally get my Gentoo 2008.0 Desktop and configured. This is the first time in over two years that I actually got a fully functional Gentoo system. I even got 3D direct rendering working with nvidia and xorg which [...] What: Gentoo contributors get together to help each other fix bugs Where: irc.freenode.net, #gentoo-bugs When: Saturday, September 6, in a timezone near you What do you need to bring? * A Gentoo system, an Internet connection and an IRC client * Your bug. If you don’t have one, we will find you one to suit [...] The August issue of the Gentoo Monthly Newsletter has been released. In this month’s issue: PHP4 removal, GSOC interview, new Gentoo-based distributions, and more! Discuss This! Heya, it’s August 8th, which is the date of official discontinuation of any work on php-4 (even security-related) on upstream-side [1] [2]. On gentoo, =dev-lang/php-4* has already been masked for security reasons since Oct 19th 2007, along with everything which depends on it. Removal from our tree was initially announced for Jan 1st 2008, but [...] When the long-awaited Gentoo 2008.0 release finally hit mirrors last month, the two largest groups of users found themselves out of luck: x86 users discovered that their live CD wouldn’t copy the kernel during install, and the AMD64 image wouldn’t fit onto a standard CD-ROM. This was not a great start for a distribution whose [...] The July issue of the Gentoo Monthly Newsletter has been released. In this month’s issue: 2008.0 release, Gentoo at Peel Fresco Music Lounge and more! Linux distributions often live and die on the strength of their respective communities. Such is the case with the Gentoo Linux distribution, which canceled its last release in 2007 but has now emerged in 2008 with a new release. Tanned, rested and ready? Developers are hopeful that the 2008.0 release will put Gentoo back on [...] |
