Gentoo Linux Announces Gentoo Linux 2004.1
Keppy writes "The departure of Daniel Robbins hasn't dented the progress of Gentoo Linux with version 2004.1 being released. ... please support Gentoo by purchasing something from the online store. The Gentoo homepage also has a short message about the future of Gentoo Linux now that Daniel has left. ' Robbat2 writes with an excerpt from the linked announcement:
"Please consult our
mirror index for download
locations and the
Gentoo Linux Installation Handbook
for detailed installation
instructions. Support for Gentoo Linux 2004.1 can be found through our
user community by way of the Gentoo Forums,
IRC, and various
community mailing-lists.
Release notes for each architecture
can be found linked from the
Gentoo Linux Release Engineering project page."
Gentoo is taking Linux into the 21st century.
Debian takes Linux back to the 90s.
Gentoo innovates.
Debian beauracrats argue amongst themselves and ad another year to the release schedule.
another lame distro.
more lame linux shit that takes 2 to 3 weeks to configure.
give it up. it's over
Anyhow, whatever *nix one chooses, it handily beats Windoze over the head except for gaming. *sigh*
Linux on THE desktop? Linux is on MY desktop.
You are so fucking gay, it's not even funny.
I can hardly wait to try this out on my duel itaniem with gcc-3.4. This is going to rock! AMD fanboys are teh sux0rs.
This is not a troll. Here, let me explain this joke so the humor impaired can figure it out. Debian released in the next ice age, Microsoft postponing the ice age.
Is this a deliberate abuse of the moderation system, or just the result of the moderation work by an idiot who never should have had mod points?
The scary part is that this is the kind of thing which tends to just get clicked off affirmatively during metamoderation. "Looks like the usual anti-M$ diatribe to me! (click)"
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
It would be funnier if it wasn't so true...
I do find that emerge is a wonderful tool for installing with, however, I think they still need to do some work on the installation guide... I managed to get my gentoo box up running KDE and SAMBA (+some other stuff I require) but, the lack of a decent troubleshooting guide, and my relative inexperience with how Linux actually DOES what it does, means that I'm buggered if I can get the sound to work in an X session.
Still, my philosophy is 'This is how we learn'
I've never shoed a horse, but I once told a donkey to piss off!
Wow, you're so cool! Did you go to school to be that cool? Or were you born with it?
BTW, I know of several large corporations that have switched over to Gentoo. But I guess they're not "serious businesses". Why? Low overhead, fast servers, uncomplicated upgrades. But whatever, you won't believe me even if I gave you phone numbers to the IT depts.
Also, responding to a zealot means you yourself are a zealot in some fashion. Your post also reeks of jealously. I know, that's a very immature virtue and you'll respond that you're hardly jealous. Then why post this at all? Why take the time to go totally out of your way to post something like this that will obviously get modded WAY down as flamebait/troll? Surely you must have known this would happen. So why post it?
What purpose does it serve other than make you feel a little better about yourself. People that dump on others to gain self esteem are truely a sad lot. One step away from a gun to the temple really.
Seek help.

"Warning: Unmerging packages can be dangerous. If you remove any core packages your system may cease to function and the removal of various libraries may cause software to fail. Portage does not warn you if you are removing core packages or dependencies for other packages."
How can Gentoo's users say that "Gentoo is one of the best linux distribs" is beyond me. I think I'll stick with Debian.
...okay. No one asked, but thanks for stating the obvious you fucking Slashbot.
Thank you for recognizing the sheer power of Ninnle Linux, mein Fuhrer!
Thank you for first posting with the greatest of all distros - the 4rd Reich of distros if you will.
Also, all the gentoo fanbois that are currently cleaning the pants they just blew their load in can all screw off.
