It's my reaction to the "Windows-isation" and "Firefox-isation" of linux. So far I've managed to keep systemd and hal and dbus and pulseaudio off my machines. I agree with Linus Torvalds that linux is getting bloated and huge and scary... http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/09/22/linus_torvalds_linux_bloated_huge/ > One minor typo to point out: > > /atc/portage/package.mask should be /etc/portage/package.mask Thanks; fixed now. > I just joined this list last week, but might consider sacrificing > some hardware to join your endeavor if you need more testers. I have a couple of regular desktops here at home, and a desktop dedicted to my TV, plus a netbook, and a laptop. So far, I've run into only one situation where laziness on my part ends up requiring udev. The laptop has an ATI Radeon chip that requires emerging radeon-ucode. That ebuild simply dumps a bunch of binary blobs into a library folder. The kernel loads one of the binary blobs at bootup. Radeon-ucode has blobs for 2 or 3 dozen differnt Radeon GPU models. If I leave all the binary blobs in the library folder, the kernel needs udev to figure out which blob to load. But, if I leave only the correct blob for my GPU in the library folder (move/delete all the others), it loads properly without any help from udev. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org>
