I used to help people with their computers. The biggest problem is that they usually thought I was having all the fun of the world, and usually didn't consider it as work. Ha!
I used to put my work phone number in my emails until a stupid guy from a mail list started to call me to discuss some topic that he disagreed... what a pain in the neck!!!
I agree with you about the stable/unstable releases (and I don't think that we are alone on this). But I don't think all those improvements would be enough for her. I think she wants a binary based distro, and that's exactly what Gentoo isn't.
Sometimes I'd like to have binaries for some stuff, but it would make Gentoo becomes just another distro in which you have problems to get the latest packages (would be hell to have versions for all architectures/optimizations/libraries Gentoo offers).
It is not that I was just flamming her... I really didn't like her article, I don't think she got the relevants aspects of Gentoo and I think she was just flamming it. If you think I was too harsh, see what they do with the opinions she receives when she doesn't like them.
If you want to compile everything, use Gentoo GNU/Linux (http://www.gentoo.org). You can also use Debian GNU/Linux (http://www.debian.org) if you don't want to compile everything but still wants updated packages (maybe sometimes you will have to switch to get some packages from the unstable version, but IMHO it is still more stable than RH)
Am I going insane, or this woman judged the package manager only by some snapshots? Does she want us to take it as a serious analysis?
Oh... wait!! It is the same woman that cannot make her Gentoo GNU/Linux work and then blame the package system, because they are source and not binary based!!!
But the system is not open-source, then it won't have a good karma here =)
BTW, our system works but there is still some complaints about the security of the system, mainly because it not open-source. They did a section with people from Parties to "show" the code... it was the funniest thing I've ever seen... how people looking at the code for a day or two can say if it is correct, secure and doesn't have any bias ?
Slashdot Mirror
Be careful of what you ask for.
I heard that slashdot was sold to 9gag...
Is that because closed source enterprises never get shut down?
Gee, if it is Open Source, you can even branch it and continue on your own, if you feel like... now, with closed sources....
How did it get to the front page without the link?
Have you heard about ARM's big.LITTLE new heterogeneous, multicore chips? Still to come to market, but might be a good choice.
You can click on the flag and report as SPAM (as I did).
....tsunamis could be a good thing.
Aren't lawyers already sharks? Only missing the lasers though.
I will be damned!
May it eat alive people then?
Thus should we say that those people that died from playing too much computer games have died of overdose?

Ha!
I need a software to improve my eye contact performance!
Yes, they are from Black Box... that is why they use the black trenchcoats.
Maybe you meant "rm -rf /mnt/windows/*" =)
/mnt/windows /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows /mnt/win
to be sure, why don't you use dd to write zeroes there? =)
Code:
mkdir
mount -t vfat
rm -rf
Then, they would start to apply color filters to the pictures...
Hey guys, I'm serious!!! It is not funny at all!! I cannot believe it was moderated as Funny (and twice) =)
Not really. My boss is not stupid =)

Oh.. sorry, bad FOR cooler makers.
Good for overclockers, bad to cooler makers =)

But the system works, I think.
