But there is nothing > stopping you from running Gentoo under kernel built for another distro. gentoo has other issues like packages failing to install due to build errors (and trying to fix that takes 5, 10+ minutes each try as it's "build all the dependencies.. oh wait.. it still doesn't work ... 10 mins later". it's an ordeal to update a kernel or anything where on most other distros it's a few seconds... redhat, debian, ubuntu even arch all have this be simple and just work in a matter of seconds... out of the box. i have other things to do than to sink my days into server maintenance so if something takes 5, 10 or 15mins when it should take seconds... i'm going to be unhappy about it and looking for solutions that remove that problem as well as solve the issue at hand. > I find it ironic how the suggestion of replacing Gentoo will cure all > problems. What if it does not? What if it is hardware? A new distro > will make no difference. unlike you, i've spent quite a lot of time looking at the problem and investigating how it wobbles. my bet is not on it being hardware at all based on how it behaves, manifests, keeps happening and how it gets fixed. my bets are host kernel and it's config. it could be hardware. it could also be witchcraft or satan himself, or a microscopic alien space craft zapping the cpu... i think i'll stick to suspicions based on investigation. :) and prebuilt kernels where? try google for gentoo prebuilt kernel and good luck finding them or info on how to emerge them and not have to already have built your own bin pkgs... and back to the "time sink that is gentoo" where it is just the wrong thing for a server that isn't just a toy. i'm not continuing this mail because it's also a waste of my time. -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) ras...@rasterman.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
