The one-command part goes for any good distro these days... For example, in Mandrake you can simply: urpmi applicationname (tho in my experience they have so few apps you end up having to compile everything by hand anyway)
As I understand it, that's only because it was easier to register a for-profit company when Gentoo was started. I think we are trying to change to non-profit, though.
I think the real reason their sales have dropped is because more and more people are realizing that the "music" they sell is garbage. I'm surprised that people still buy any of it.
Broadband increases the number of people with IP addresses, not decreases.
Furthermore, some people may need/want more than 1 IP address per device. Not all protocols support virtual hosting yet, though perhaps it would have been better if IPv6 forced virtual hosts on all protocols...
1. using '-l' is good when you've already typed the IP and forgotten to type the username. 2. if they used username@host, the complete idiots would think it was an email and try emailing it.
Actually, even the original GB cartridges had a region. They're either Japan Region or Everyone-Else Region. The GB consoles never checked any of it though.
The replies suggest that Netscape lost because IE was free as in beer while in fact Netscape was freeware before Internet Explorer. That almost forced Microsoft to make IE freeware and then they decided they could bundle it with Windows to kill Netscape.
You make the assumption that the person compiling the binaries for the website has binary compatibility with other people. Without binary compatibility, you would have to compile it on every system. As it is, I believe it wasn't until just recently that C++ binaries were compatible between different versions of GCC that compiled them.

PowerPC 1.4 Torrents are now available at http://dev.gentoo.org/~luke-jr/torrent/gentoo-1.4/ with the rest...

That appears to be the daily CVS changelog which covers the portage tree, which has nothing to do with releases...

Try using this instead of 'startx':
{ nohup startx >/dev/null & }; exit

CD keys should not exist in the first place.
This is the 3rd definition of DRM now...
1. Digital Restrictions Management (M$)
2. Direct Rendering M(anagement?) (XFree)
I've gotten a few of these already. Anyone know how many different combinations there are? I want to collect them all! :)
I have also emailed them and they claim to be working on the details of making the software and firmware open source.

Good point... Usually when I lose power I have to spend 10 minutes to make the system work correctly again.
If you use gaming-sources for your kernel, Gentoo is already super-optimized for games. :)
Uh... Since when? Real downloads usually range from 10KB/sec to 100KB/sec. And then there are a few times you might get a better (or worse) speed.
I already leave all progs running all the time...
So new motherboards can have a 2 MB RAM chip on them used for randomization... Big deal.
I only allow open source software on my PC. Very rarely (never) do I need WINE or WineX for games.
Actually, closer to 23.3 GB

I assure you DRobbins was quite a bit more pissed about it than you are.

I'm not sure, but doesn't Stage 1 contain a binary GCC and Glibc? Also, did you install *all* of KDE or just the minimum needed?
On my P3 800 MHz, it took me 3 days also. But that's just KDE. An entire system would include the kernel, GCC, Glibc, XF86, Qt and GTK also.
