RE: [gentoo-user] Putting gentoo to work :)
Have you checked out the Linux Terminal Server Project (LTSP)? http://gentoo-wiki.com/Index:LTSP http://ltsp.sourceforge.net/ Ennis From: Alexandru Mincu [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 09, 2007 12:43 PM To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Subject: [gentoo-user] Putting gentoo to work :) Hi guys, I have(or better may have) a project to build and maintain a company's network. I was thinking into proposing gentoo since it's got my heart, but I have some questions about which things should i use for a base installation. My setup will look like this: big server with 2 or 3 gigabit ethernet cards and lots of sata drives in a big raid array. disk less workstations with 512mb or 1gb of ram, nvidia or integrated video and a gigabit ethernet card. and of course a gigabit ethernet switch. First of all let's start with the clients... I am a Gnome fan and I think it is better and simpler to use, but them if you have windows users that you want to put to use linux, kde might be a better option... although this is a matter of taste I would accept some suggestions(without killing each other here), bu please take in consideration all the things i want to add. Things required: Email, Calendar sharing, IM, Office suite, other bullshit managers use to put you to work(suggestions accepted here) :) Web browsing, A content management system I also think that some eye candy would be gr8 to have ... I tried both compiz and beryl, but none were stable for me... it's true i was using nvidia's beta driers but anyway. have any of you tried compiz or beryl? which one is really stable and ready to use for a company? Is the Xgl+(compiz|beryl) variant stable? I for one really liked beryl's features but it seems to be more unstable than compiz. Now for updates .. which profile do you think would better suit a company .. should I use hardend gentoo? Is there a version of gentoo that keeps things down with the upgrades to stable packages or I should keep my own tree and sync only the stuff I want and test into it? Now the nice part, What about the disk less clients? is there a way to keep a stable file system for all the workstations without requiring to copy all the base files for each workstation? It would be nice to be able to dynamical add workstations to the network without requiring admin intervention... From what I have seen in the gentoo diskless faq it suggested doing an separate dir for each client in the network The big questions are: What software/configurations would you use if you would want to do this with gentoo? What are the good points in using the system instead of using MS Windows (besides the money)? PS: Excuse my English.

RE: [gentoo-user] Is Gentoo healthy? - possibly OT, but not really
I was wondering about that, how would you volunteer to assist with porting new software to the portage tree? I see that some software packages I would like to install (RT, dotProject) are masked. So I was wondering if anybody needed some assistance maintaining the ports, or if maybe/probably my Gentoo skill set if not up to snuff? Ennis McCaffrey -Original Message- From: Richard Broersma Jr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 18, 2006 12:07 PM To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] Is Gentoo healthy? On Monday 18 December 2006 20:17, Grant wrote: I personally still love Gentoo. What's the problem then? :) Another question would be, how many of us have made healthy progress in our general knowledge of Linux all thanks to the gentoo user guides/howto(s) and the time spent installing gentoo on our servers? I really benefited from the cookbook approach that the user manual takes. It gently opened my eyes to many lower level processes that were always shielded from my eyes on many other distro's that I have used. For this reason Gentoo will always hold a special place in my heart. :o) However, I believe that gentoo's health is completely dependent on the number of talented developers that devote much of their personal time refining and debugging portage and it vast software tree. IMHO, if we would like to see Gentoo maintain healthy growth, more of us happy less experienced users should find ways to assisting the core developers by relieving them from the more mundane redementry tasks. I am sure that the portage tree is already large enough that it is a daunting challenge for the limited number of developers to maintain it and keep it upto date with new software releases. Next time we see a call for assistance in the weekly news letter, we would do well to spend a few hours each week answering that call. Well that's my two cents anyway.
