Gentoo 2005.0: A Live CD And [No] Graphical Installer
Sunsetbeach writes "zdnet.co.uk reports in this article that 'The next version of Gentoo, 2005.0, will also include a graphical installer that will allow users to automatically install the same set-up of Gentoo on multiple machines, according to Gianelloni.' " The article distinguishes the upcoming live disk from the (available) Gentoo Live CD; the new one will contain a fully functioning system ala Knoppix. Update: 11/30 23:09 GMT by M : Gentoo now has a clarification posted; the next Gentoo release will not have a graphical installer, although it is planned for the future.
Ouch... While compiling everything to a ram-disk is technically viable, I somehow fail to see it working in a long run :p
The creatures outside looked from Alt-Right to Antifa; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
In Korea, only old people use graphical installers.
the real hardcore Gentoo users won't consider you a Linux guru until your self-starting Linux system begins its bootstrap procedure by constructing your PC and CD-ROM drive using a desktop matter fabricator.
Athletic Scholarships to universities make as much sense as academic scholarships to sports teams.
If you really want to know what's going on with your computer, I suggest you try constructing your own motherboard. Once you build a motherboard from scratch, you no longer have these random transistors lying around that you don't know the purpose of. Its not just about function, its about actually using pc hardware, after years of submitting to Asus and Epox's tendecies of not labeling everything and sticking you with the bill, its liberating to know what every piece of metal and plastic does what. This is the true power of not having a girlfriend.
Next project: building a monitor!

Intolerance for ambiguity is the mark of the authoritarian personality.
Well, don't feel too bad. Afterall, it's Slashdot. It's not like having an accurate article will make the people here any more informed :)

Don't you just love it how first posts are always modded redundant. I mean, all you did was make a comment. You expressed your opinion. I wonder, what is it that the moderator expected ?
;-)
In my glass-is-half-full view of the world, the post was modded so because mods believe Gentoo (and emerge) to be way cool, and stating so in a post is actually redundant.
Man, I should get a job as a spin doctor.
No sig
Gentoo is for Ricers
Laugh, it's funny!
Why do I keep typing pythong?
They're going to stop making Gentoo???
