Gentoo Offers PPC LiveCDs

Posted by timothy on from the ask-and-receive dept.

drunkentiger writes "Ripped right off their homepage: In a recent Slashdot article, someone asked if it were possible to create a fully-featured bootable Linux LiveCD for the Macintosh. We thought this was a great idea. So today, we are releasing two full-featured LiveCDs for the PowerPC: one with KDE 3, and another with GNOME 2. Take a look at the KDE LiveCD running MacOS X in a window via Mac on Linux. LiveCDs can be downloaded here or from these mirrors."

    ...but then I realized there wasn't anything in it that wasn't pretty much true. If anything it's flamebait...but correct flamebait. Sorry.

    I love gentoo but some of the reason that you guys have for liking it are just wrong. If you know how to use red hat or mandrake you do not have to have dependency hell or a slow system. If you install apt-get for rpm then you can just type apt-get install blah to install the package and all of its dependencies. How hard is that. Also, just becasue RedHat ships with KDE and GNOME it doesnt mean that you have to use them. It takes almost no thought to type apt-get wmaker and then add a Windowmaker script to /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions. I'm typing this on a RedHat 9 system with windomaker on galeon. You Gentoo people should know espessially, the base installation isn't everything. None of which shipped with redhat. So stop being idiots.
