Re: [gentoo-user] Looking for a minimalist image viewer / organizer
You can try the Linux version of Google Picasa http://picasa.google.com/linux/ May not be as minimal as you would like but it works. And they are not listing an dependencies.

I use Fluxbox because I have an older computer and would like to keep dependencies at a minimum. Any suggestions? I only need a viewer; organising my pictures is not a plus. No exotic formats, just jpeg, gif and the usual. Thanks in advance, Vlad -- Ryan Crisman
[gentoo-user] Portage Emerge Net Connect Error
Everytime I attempt to install a new program using portage i get this error: Resolving distfiles.gentoo.org... failed: Temporary failure in name resolution. I do have internet access and I am writing this email from the same machine. It doesn't matter what package or when i get this error all the time.

Re: [gentoo-user] Portage Emerge Net Connect Error
Okay i got it to work. It turns out /etc/conf.d/net was not setup to see the router. I just looked it up on the Gentoo Linux Doc and routes_eth0 was not set up so I added routes_eth0=default gw 192.168.1.1 to the end of the file, restarted eth0 and everything works now. Thanks for the help.

Thank you, in advance... P.S. before you beat me up too badly, I've googled this one to death and not found anything that satisfies my curiousity. The answer at the moment appears to be that there is no difference. http://www.mysqlperformanceblog.com/2006/12/29/where-to-get-recent-mysql-version/ However it looks like in the future the code paths will start to diverge.

Re: [gentoo-user] Mysql vs Mysql-community...
I use MySQL alot at my Company and we use the Community version. I have found that its just as good as the Paid one which by the MySQL website says the paid one is more stable but I have yet to see any problems.

At least that's the question I interpreted the first post as asking. Right now the code bases are exactly the same. Going forward it's not clear whether I'll be able to compile Mysql Enterprise myself with support for the Sphinx storage engine which is very fast for full text searches and a feature I desperately need. Also unclear is if the high concurrency Innodb thread fixes are going to be implemented in Community or Enterprise first. Enterprise appears to be the stable branch and will have changes back ported from Community, but the docs are less than clear at this point. In any case the issues are a bit more complicated than where your support comes from at least at the high end. For your general web-app either would be fine. kashani -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list -- Ryan Crisman

Re: [gentoo-user] ETH0 Startup Problem
The livecd has 8139cp and 8139too loaded but the installed version only has 8139cp loaded, and mii also is loaded with both the network modules out to the side of it on the live cd, and the install only has the one to the side of it. Thats what it was displaying so I did:echo 8139too /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6and that fixed the problem.
