Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo speed comparison to other distros

I googled a bit but couldn't find anything. Maybe my search terms wasn't good enough. Links would be nice. Dale -- I am only responsible for what I said ... Not for what you understood or how you interpreted my words! While I'll start by backing up everything said by others regarding the differences being nearly negligible in a truly equal test, same feature set from source vs the feature set provided by a binary distro, and even a loss in terms of total time when you include the compile times involved, I do have a bit of anecdotal evidence in Gentoo's favor. On the majority of x86 or x86_64 hardware there's very little room for across the board gains in performance over otherwise standard cflags. On slightly less 'normal' hardware, like, say, an Atom N270 based netbook with 1GB of ram, however, a few cflags go a *long* way towards having a usable system. My Mini9 shipped with a variant of Ubuntu that's actually built with general optimizations to make it usable on that hardware, and having run the same version of Ubuntu without those optimizations for a day or two on it, the amount of stutter and stalling was almost unbearable. Then, with the help of a desktop (or three) to handle the bulk of the compilation, I moved to Gentoo on it. I hadn't sorted out what cflags would be best, and simply built what I needed to get back to work on it with fairly minimal use flags, and I was rather frustrated to find that it still ran worse than the factory install, once programs had started (though that process was noticeably faster, as it generally is with so much less running in the background). Once I adjusted to the appropriate cflags, the stutter cleared up, things didn't stall frequently, and the system was simply more responsive. I could even watch flash videos full screen without it stuttering, which I'd given up on as a possibility on the system. A vast majority of the gains I saw were simply from clearing away the 80% of Ubuntu's features I have no use for, but when you have a processor that approaches things just a little differently, like an Atom, you really can gain a bit from letting the compiler put things in an order the processor will agree with better. -- Poison [BLX] Joshua M.

On Thu, 14 Mar 2013 18:52:41 -0500 Dale rdalek1...@gmail.com wrote: I didn't miss anything. I get what some are saying. The reason for my question is this. Gentoo allows a person to customize the OS to the specific hardware it is being run on. Redhat and other binary distros don't allow this, unless you compile your own packages which is no longer really a binary install. So, if I install Redhat on my machine, would it be less efficient than my Gentoo install which is customized for my hardware? Has someone else tested this and made it public? If people can't get this, never mind. Dale I have not really searched for such benchmarks for a while. I would take any such things with a grain of salt, if I did. Unless I want to devote the time to set up a series of application specific tests, and test them on multiple platforms on MY hardware, such results would be almost useless to me. I am sure that there are such tests out there - Computer Science and Engineering departments at Universities have certainly run such tests - whether they are public or not, is another story. Also, if you could specifically define efficient, it would be helpful, at least to narrow down what you're looking for. If you mean, accomplishing the same task with the fewest instructions, that is difficult to test, and very dependent on Kernel, library and compiler versions. If you mean faster, that is more hardware dependent, unless you're dealing with some very poorly written code. Efficient does not always mean faster - as others have pointed out, binary distos are faster to install than source based distros. FreeBSD is faster than GNU/Linux on some tasks, and overall is more UNIX-like, since it was a Berkeley developed version of UNIX. This has been tested on other people's hardware. Would that necessarily compare to mine or yours? We don't know that, since we have NOT tested them on each of our sets of hardware. E.g. FreeBSD uses an older version of just about everything, so I cannot optimize the compiler for my Core-i7-avx processor. I can do this with Gentoo (or any other GNU/Linux distro that I choose to 'optimize' by compiling from source). Just my $0.02, Chris

In other words, if you do find /sys -name enp0s4, I'm betting you will get something like: /sys/devices/pci:00/:00:1c.1/:00:004.0/net/enp0s4 The :00:004.0 is the part that determines the naming of yout device.

[[ actually I was even more nonstandard and put them in
/local/etc/anacron-{...} but that is another story ]]
I want to be more standard with a new installation so I am following the
anacron documentation and putting the anacron scripts in
/etc/cron.{daily, weekly, monthly}.
I am then supposed to comment [these] jobs out of their crontab files
Am I correct that I comment out cron.daily by commenting out the line
9 3 * * * rootrm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.daily
from /etc/crontab. I think this has to work but the code in

I've tried to use Open Office but it not user friendly. I used Bluefish...around a decade ago. But it's in Portage. Not user friendly either. Define user-friendly. When I used Bluefish, I recalled it being similar to Netscape Navigator Gold's bundled HTML editor...which is to say it supported editing individual pages only, and had no concept of JavaScript, JScript, VBScript or CSS. Better than define user-friendly...how about describing what you're trying to do? How large a project is this? I wanted something like Nvu, I used long, time ago WYSIWYG I don't have time to play with those tags. I just want to type in some text, change the font size if I have to, place some picture beside it; save it an upload. I bluefish I was presented with pure html coding :-/ -- Joseph

Description: PDF rendering library based on the xpdf-3.0 code base
and there is no xpdf-headers USE flag. XPdf was removed at all

So no chance to resolve the conflict?
How can I prevent this problem?
Thank you very much in advance for any help!
Best regards,
