If you are on Gentoo, simply do an 'emerge sync' followed by an 'emerge update world', much as you have always done.

OSDN announced today that Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda's job will be outsourced. While OSDN's famous "Personal's" service makes money, Slashdot flounders, prompting the move.

Malda will be replaced by a guy in Punjab calling himself "CmdrRaj".

LOL. Now that is funny. I've had some similar moderations. Now I wish I'd kept track of them. The best one I ever had was a post I made that went from 2 (karma bonus) up to 5, down to 1, back up to 5, and back down to -1 Funny. I never did figure out how the hell that happened but it was quite humorous just the same. I hate it when trolls get moderator points.
Fedora Core 2 with Reiser4? by Anonymous Coward · 2004-02-12 08:13 · Score: -1, Offtopic

What *would* be nice is a root partition using Reiser4 instead of ext3. I appreciate that you can't have packed tails on a root partition, but if any bad thing happens (power plug gets kicked out) then you get to experience the joy of watching e2fsck run and run and run and run and run and run and ..... for maybe 5 minutes. I have two internal hard disks. One has Reiser 3.x, one has ext3. The ext3 drive is 20GB and it takes 10 minutes for e2fsck to run. The Reiser3.x drive is 80GB and file system recovery takes 3 seconds.
Seriously. What do you have against Debian? by Anonymous Coward · 2004-02-12 08:37 · Score: -1, Offtopic
It is backed by a registered non-profit.

If it isn't good enough for you now for whatever reason, the best things that you can do for the Free Software community are:
1. Tonight go home and start the process of becoming a Debian Developer
2. Whether or not you do that, start maintaining Debian packages as the favored package format for any software you develop
3. Open up the bug tracking list for a Debian package you use (packages.debian.org) and submit patches to the maintainer
4. Encourage others you know to do (1), (2), and (3)
5. Donate to the Debian project
Debian is about you and me; not about living in the shadow of a monolithic corporate sponsor, under the supervision of paid corporate employees.

And the best thing is that it already exists; it's ready for us right now.

Take that same zeal you have for Fedora and bring it to Debian. It is absolutely the best thing you can do for yourself and the Free Software community.

Come over to our side. Or come that day when Redhat again throws you out like a used tissue remember that if you have a zeal for community and freedom, you have a home with Debian.
