Why? Does Gentoo forget how to do something? Why can't you just "set and
forget" your Gentoo boxes?
Gentoo is difficult to install. Also, if it's left un-updated for
longer periods of time, it tends to break on the next update. I guess
that's the downside of being versionless. Debian on the other hand, due
to it being versioned, doesn't have that problem.
Another reason I
didn't put Gentoo on the server is because everyone would start spamming
the forums about lag when I emerge -u world while they're getting frags
in Counter-Strike :P
set PORTAGE_NICENESS=19 in /etc/make.conf
I'll just hay "ah, ah, ah" at that one :P OK, I'll also say that it
doesn't work. Everything lags even with 19.
