[gentoo-user] Misconceptions about Mac\Apple?
OK...This is going to sound like a really dumb question, but I'm really new at this, but liking it so far... I've heard (and believe) that the Mac OS is built on a Linux kernel. Is this true?

There's lots of software out there I'd like to use in my Gentoo environment, and I can find Mac\Apple versions, but I don't know if it will work in Gentoo.

Over the past 3 years, I have been on a quest for a minimalist and functional window/desktop manager. It seems like I've tried everything. I started off with kde, hated the kitchensink approach they take, so I moved to gnome, which was, indeed, more subdued, some say boring. The standard package fit me okay, but it was so heavyweight, I used none of the desktop function except freecell and the weather applet. So I went minimalist with kahakai, interesting, but ultimately not worth the ongoing effort, then to ratpoison. which I dumped after a week or two. Brief visits to ion and icewm, finally settled on XFCE-4 for maybe a year and a half. It's minimalist as a desktop manager, but again, I used almost none of its functionality, I do everything except surfing the web from the commandline. I saw a number of people who opinions I value using fluxbox, so I decided to try that. I'm glad it came with good recommendations, because when I opened it up in its default configuration, it was almost as butt-ugly as ratpoison. I emerged the themes, played around with them, settled down with one, and now feel settled. The ease of configuration, the basic simplicity, the choice of themes, seems just right for me.

Maybe it was just for me, but this turned into a total disaster. I later found that it was due to setting ntplonly, which apparently disables old, non-ntpl support entirely. Which is very very bad for apps that don't yet support ntpl, or something like that. My suggestion is to talk to gentoo devs, and decide for yourself if you think it's worth it. And by all means stay away from ntplonly. Today my system is ntpl (without ntplonly), on an SMP system, and I don't notice any improvement at ALL.

It's a SB Audigy 2 (emu10k1), with the main audio jacks on the actual card and headphone and microphone ports in front. For some reason, I can only get sound out of the front headphone port--not any of the ports on the card itself. Other than that, everything works fine. That I can tell, I have everything configured right, but here's some output in case anybody spots something: foogley ~ # lspci | grep audio 02:0a.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs SB Audigy (rev 04) foogley ~ # lsmod | grep snd snd_pcm_oss 49184 0 snd_mixer_oss 17920 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_seq_oss 32640 0 snd_seq_midi 7584 0 snd_emu10k1_synth 7808 0 snd_emux_synth 35584 1 snd_emu10k1_synth snd_seq_virmidi 6784 1 snd_emux_synth snd_seq_midi_event 6912 3 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_virmidi snd_seq_midi_emul 7808 1 snd_emux_synth snd_seq 50512 8 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_emux_synth,snd_seq_virmidi,snd_seq_midi_even t, snd_seq_midi_emul snd_emu10k1 121252 4 snd_emu10k1_synth snd_rawmidi 21408 3 snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_virmidi,snd_emu10k1 snd_ac97_codec 92448 1 snd_emu10k1 snd_ac97_bus 2944 1 snd_ac97_codec snd_seq_device 7820 7 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_emu10k1_synth,snd_emux_synth,snd_seq, snd_emu10k1,snd_rawmidi snd_util_mem 4352 2 snd_emux_synth,snd_emu10k1 snd_hwdep 8324 2 snd_emux_synth,snd_emu10k1 snd_pcm 81540 5 snd_pcm_oss,snd_emu10k1,snd_ac97_codec snd_page_alloc 9352 2 snd_emu10k1,snd_pcm snd_timer 22276 3 snd_seq,snd_emu10k1,snd_pcm snd 47460 17 snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_seq_oss,snd_emux_synth,snd_seq_virmidi, snd_seq,snd_emu10k1,snd_rawmidi,snd_ac97_codec,snd_seq_device,snd_hwdep, snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 8672 1 snd Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. -- Jesse Hannah -- Jesse Hannah Homepage: http://everstar.hostultra.com/ IRC Nick: [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG Key: 0x78F156E7 Available on the keyservers (search the key or for Jedi Web-Penguin) or from http://everstar.hostultra.com/jesse.asc pgpfGPfK2Wqg9.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Daniel Robbins' come back ?
James a écrit : Jil Larner jil at gnoo.eu writes: May I suggest you split the discussion if you continue about licensing, so we can keep a clear topic on Daniel's come back ? I only use licensing as an example (that I'm willing to defend as long as it takes) to support the notion of vehicles to generate revenue around the 'gentoo engine'. I understood your first message, I am for BSD licenses everywhere (but I haven't all arguments you gave, just faith). But it turned to a flame war on BSD vs GPL v2 (v3 is no match) and, as you say, deeply focusing on a example. After all, if you look at Daniel's recent past, he's been searching for ways to use Gentoo, to *make money*. Several folks have pointed out that the majority of people believe that using (gentoo) linux to make money is a good idea. Daniel has been with lots of ventures in the recent past. Gentoo is his next 'bidness'. (ok that's settled?) Settled. [...] Go read the 14 pages on the forum and you get a pretty clear picture, that he is not this *benevolent benefactor* that the masses believe he is. If he was, he would return, humble get on 'the team' and let folks who have experience and connections run the financial affairs of Gentoo, to the benefit of the all devs and the user alike. Well, I attempted to read the forum, but I quickly left the page. The current Gentoo case is very interesting for the student that I am, but I don't want to take too much time to read the whole topic, I am already overwhelmed, alas. Messages on the list gave me the image of what he wants and a part of what he did. That's why I think this list is great :o Why else would Daniel let the foundation sink? I sure anyone in the know could have sent in the few hundred bucks to keetp gentoo legally established. This crisis has been orchestrated to force a decision, plain and simple. Yeah, that's obvious since the beginning. When I asked what the crisis was, the problem and non problem of legal papers, I saw it. Now, I may say that Gentoo is at a mature point, is a valuable distro, and choices must be made for its future. Somewhere, politics that I never heard about let the ball run away (quote from a previous mail, I think) and lead to the current crisis that allows (or not) the come back of Daniel. Then, the question looks like will people allow Gentoo to become commercial under the leadership of Daniel without measure of control ? I'm not sure it's a good sum up. If you don't think, help me to be right. I don't say commercial is evil. I agree that having a business around gentoo may have it stronger. But I believe he aims to access power the same way as Palpatine in Star Wars, and the story could be the same, then it would be hard to find a Jedi to rescue ! :D Discussions hold in the darkness and open the way for speculation. I understand the need to discuss without the noise of the community. But communication in an Open Source project, to say what is really in game, seems to me fundamental. Are they talking about licensing, trying to arrange some counter power to reach an agreement, do they already accepted and try to figure out how to convince involved people (I mean not basic users like me) ? I don't know. Only one thing is certain : we are facing trouble times and what we watch coming seems very, very dangerous. Power allows fast acting, but doesn't necessarily make the act wise. come on, use your brain here.. I attempt, but the choice is not ours. God, I sure hope I'm wrong.. So do I.
