Are there any meta-{ebuilds,ports,packages}[*] that will install a large
number of packages for quicker preparation of a workstation?I would like such a thing which would install items such as : ghostscript, ghostview, xpdf, xntpd, xinetd, gnome, kde, fvwm2, lprng, am-utils, dump/restore, sendmail, pcmcia, vim, emacs, rsh/rlogin, finger, mailx, procmail, fetchmail, vacation, amanda, nmh, procmail, pine, elm, tcpdump, traceroute, bind-tools, xemacs, .... etc., etc. I am currently evaluating several distributions such as Debian, Gentoo and Fedora to choose one to replace our Red Hat linux workstations with. I like the infrastructure that Gentoo has put in place with their portage system (I am a FreeBSD fan myself and portage resembles their ports system) , but I will need a simpler way to bring systems up to spec post install. - Mike [*] sorry new to gentoo, not sure of your nomenclature yet. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
