Ahhhh that makes sense now. Silly me.

No, Gentoo is about choice. Given the choice, most people would choose to drop useless stuff, so that's a useful side-affect.

Howver, I choose to keep Larry. You can't take that away from me!

So I took some advice and added

Code: Select all

"USE= -larry"
Then of course . . .

emerge --update --newuse --deep world

and get this . . .

Code: Select all

error: command 'x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

!!! ERROR: dev-gentoo/LarryTheTransexual-0.1
Call stack:
  ebuild.sh, line 1521:   Larry pWn3$ ur pu73r
  ebuild.sh, line 924:   You have caught the ghey
  ebuild.sh, line 1233:   Cowpies have been added to kernel.
  distutils.eclass, line 35:   Called die, Larry Lives

!!! compilation failed
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.

Not what I expected at all

well guys got cards for the Larry fan film?

I hope you all got your tickets reserved for Barnyard...

I agree with the original poster. A cow is very lame, we need more distros with dragons, birds of prey, phoenixes, etc...

I think the mascott should be a fork. nothing says "i'm gonna poke you" like a fork.

seriously though, I have seen Larry about 2 times in all my gentoo life. ! of those times was from a link about pointing to the about gentoo page.

I never unserstood why distro named after a breed of penguins doesnt use them for its mascot. I mean Fedora's mascot is... err a fedora hat.
With that in mind Larry is pretty cool.

Lay-REE, the comfortable cow

Why do we have to have a steam-blowing, pissed off, testosterone powered mascot?

Isn't Gentoo a modern thinking distro? Where we are all au fait with the notion of a transgender mascot and/or man-boobs on such? 8O :)

But really, what the heck DOES Larry, or Lary the mail cow (sic.), have to do with the idea of a beautiful Pygoscelis papua (Gentoo).

I think Fedora/RH have a long history (ref: Lechium), which is nice, but (ref: shickapooka800) really, Larry only does enter the history via a link "about Gentoo" page when you are busy trying to find the dang handbook. Larry is about as useful as the aforementioned "mamory glands on a bull".

Can we get a little more relevance into Larry? Can we performance modify him? Maybe a spoiler and mag-wheels might help out, perhaps emerge him with specific USE and CFLAGS to squeeze out that undetectable speed boost, *cough* placebo *cough* effect, that we are so infamous for.

Can we entice Daniel Robbins to make a final comment on such?..

Maybe I should devote my resources to development rather than these goings-on, hmm...

I fail to see the testosterone power you speak of.

the bull in our posts

  • Quote

Post by terrella » Mon Jul 10, 2006 11:33 pm

I was speaking of your first post, and specifically talk of a BULL (being an XY version of a cow), and a pissed-off bull at that, these things have sometimes been associated with testosterone, is all. :)

I think it is great that we are all talking about what really is a "cow".

Code: Select all

emerge gentoo-philosophy
What makes a cow, really a cow? This is udderly rediculous.

how many mascots can we emerge?

  • Quote

Post by terrella » Tue Jul 11, 2006 1:18 am

What if we play a game: How many mascots can be packed into one post and then try to break that record.
Gentooers, ubiquitous in adding more mascots. Gentoo: the one known for watery decisions on even their mascot, why not a mascot for "arch" and "~arch", ideas?

With the funky "G"-logo, Larry, Barry (not iconic I guess), Tux (at large), that cool Gentoo-esque madcapped looking version of a penguin on the homepage posts, that UFO, and our namesake Gentoo, lets add this Gentoo-strapped-to-a-rocket version (which is actually a good version and makes sense considering the namesake) to the list.

Maybe Larry should have some specifications drawn up?

Code: Select all

Udder = true
?
Then submit it for some generic Linux standard so at least all the other type of package management users know how to best taunt Gentooers for 'Ricer'-ness

Is there a large version of that crazy frontpage penguin? I want to incorporate it into a wallpaper. (Yes, I know it's been done before, but MEH.)

Unfortunately, "NO BULL" has been taken: http://www.pedders.com.au/about.asp?iD=165

(And anticipating your reply, "Bugger" has also been taken: http://www.badchickens.com/movie_bugger.html ;))
