[gentoo-user] Setting up a local portage/rsync mirror on OpenBSD

Hey everyone, I've been considering setting up a local rsync mirror for my many local machines. However, my primary server with all the hard drive space (the only one that's any good) is running OpenBSD. There's a few guides out there about running Portage mirrors on Gentoo, but none that I can

I don't use OpenBSD but I can assure you that there is nothing special about portage's usage of rsync. Every howto about rsync servers and BSD should work. Just look into the script for settings like recursion and compression. Well, I mean't every gentoo one says emerge --sync, I was

I've recently installed GDM, XDM, and Fluxbox on a new Gentoo machine. When I boot to XDM, and login as root, everything is fine and dandy, with a nice Fluxbox desktop. When I login as my user, it just hangs on a black screen (which xdm used to do when it was pointing to a wm that didn't exist).
