No offense to anyone choice, I know I tend to love my preferences.No, actually I was referring to DEP. He was practically foaming at the mouth about lack of LSB compliance.
Can I froth at the mouth a little about Gentoo's emerge system building well?
Perhaps my needs are beyond what Gentoo's general crowd has tested well. My USE= variable is pretty long so it could cause me problems.
I cannot seem to get a complete Gentoo system up and running well without running into oddball issues with emerge. All I want to do is emerge KDE, is that unacceptible? I guess what I'd like to be able to do is type "emerge kde" and go to bed. In the morning, however, I typically see some error message about some dependency not being met or automake/autoconf version errors (this latest issue I've had).
RANT RANT RANT RANT!
I am a big fan of the Gentoo concepts, and still look forward to it being a great distro for me. I am, however, not blessed with enough time to do an LFS install, which sometimes feels like what I'm doing. This time I started at Stage 2 as recommended. I followed instructions exactly.
Thanks for the ventilation and for your help in the past. I may have the time sometime to make use of it in the future. Right now, SuSE is still fulfilling my Linux needs.
ps. Accepted or not, LSB is what we got. It's pretty darned important that we adhere to what we got.
