Minor correction
tar jxvf config.bz2 -C /mnt/gentoo/etc/portage
should be
tar jxvf config.tar.bz2 -C /mnt/gentoo/etc/portage

Yeah, I know how to install it, was just hinting that it would be good for new users of the guide who don't follow the "Unsupported Software" forum as much as I do

are you going to update the guide to use zen sources?

Calculating dependencies /!!! Digest verification failed:

!!! Reason: Filesize does not match recorded size
!!! Got: 681

As long as there are stable releases which I can use on a productive server it's all good

Does anybody know how well this kernel will perform on a server system (ussual LAMP with heavy mySQL usage). Is it feaseble compared to standard gentoo-sources?

Damn I can't get mine to work
Launching via kdm (the kde 4 one)

It starts, goes through all the icons on the progress thing on the logging in up logo (the one with the pic of kde dev team) and then just freezes, so the logging in logo just stayes there. Interesting stuff from .xsession-errors ...

Just so you know even with the latest eclass I still get
symlink: /root/.kde/tmp-localhost
unlink: /root/.kde/tmp-localhost
symlink: /root/.kde/tmp-localhost

and loads off

libglade also fails for me with gcc 4.3. Anyone can confirm?

Hello,

I am running a P2P related server, which has many connections to it at one time (about 100,000 at peak times). But I have been getting
eserver invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0xd0, order=0, oomkilladj=0 errors followed by
Out of socket memory
I believe this is related to rmem, but I am not sure ...

Hello,

Are there any hosting control panels (i.e. cpanel, ispconfig, etc) that are known to work with gentoo

Thanks a lot

any updates?

RIP Cory

Good luck and best wishes to you Amber

from the glibc thread when emerging glibc 2.6.1

test ! -x /var/tmp/paludis/sys-libs/glibc-2.6.1/work/build-default-i686-pc-linux-gnu-nptl/elf/ldconfig || LC_ALL=C LANGUAGE=C \
/var/tmp/paludis/sys-libs/glibc-2.6.1/work/build-default-i686-pc-linux-gnu-nptl/elf/ldconfig -r /var/tmp/paludis/sys-libs ...

As a starter of this thread, I think I am gonna resume posting screenshots and sharing experiences (though they'll be from SuSe linux).

As on performance - it's really hard to judge right now, due to the state of the code, but IMHO KDE 4 is a bit slower
