 I prefer something like FlameCanid that more properly expresses the

We use Bon Echo as it's upstreams default unbranded name. Many other
distros are using Bon Echo and changing it to something else would
require a reasonably painful amount of patching and maintenance.

You are allowed to build Firefox with branding, you can't distribute any
binaries you build though. We're currently considering enabling branding
by default with USE=bindist however it's a complicated issue.

 Hi all,
 
 I'm trying to use:
 
 _syscall3(int, ioprio_set, int, which, int, who, int, ioprio);
 _syscall2(int, ioprio_get, int, which, int, who);
 
 and supposedly I just
 
 #include linux/unistd.h
 
 but I'm getting these error from gcc:
 
 error: syntax error before ioprio_set
 warning: data definition has no type or storage class
 error: syntax error before ioprio_get
 warning: data definition has no type or storage class

Hi,

It would be helpful to provide us with the failing code as we have no
clue what you could be doing wrong.

[gentoo-user] Re: Which Laptop is recommended for Gentoo GNU/Linux?

2007-01-09 Thread Christian Marie
If you're looking for an ultra-portable, take a look at the Thinkpad
X60s. I've gotten everything to work on it, aside from the modem which I
haven't tested. It's also one of the best ultra-portables on the market.
In general, most hardware will work fine on Thinkpads. If in doubt:

 Hello,
 
 first thanks all for your great support on Gentoo Linux.
 I'm interessted to buy a laptop on which I would like to install Gentoo 
 GNU/Linux by using 100% all hardware functions of the laptop for which I have 
 bought.
 
 Does somebody know a model of a laptop on which all works fine with Linux?
 I don't want to have trouble with wireless, webcam or this kind of stuff.
 Is there maybe a laptop hardware constructor which supports 100% Linux on 
 laptop?
 
 Best regards,
 saf
