Hallo all... I am VERY interested in Gentoo Linux. I am a long time FreeBSD user and I have used Linux before. Red Hat 6 was the last Linux flavor I taste thus that was a long time ago. I haven't followed many Linux news since then.
If anyone here has used FreeBSD before, probably he/she can shed some lights on my questions. In FreeBSD, there are -STABLE branch and -CURRENT branch. Whenever I want to install the latest -STABLE branch 1. I can go to one of the FreeBSD snapshot servers to download latest build of -STABLE tree 2. Setup those files thus the installer later can fetch the files from local FTP server 3. Make the boot disk 4. Boot the PC I want to install using those disks 5. The installer run and fetch the installation files from my local FTP server (which contains the FreeBSD installation files already) 6. I have the latest -STABLE running in my PC Later, I install cvsup, I check-in the latest FreeBSD source and port, then I can recompile the whole world with specific compiler optimizations, and I can install e.g.: KDE, Gnome from ports. I am looking for simplified instruction to do the FreeBSD analogy for Gentoo Linux. Can anyone help? Thank you /john -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
