As for Gentoo, I don't know, is there even a way to use it on the
Yeeloong without having to personally compile every singly package you
install? Because that's certainly not what I would want to do on a
slow netbook.
Heh, I did it for you guys. Look on any gentoo mirror, eg
http://mirrors.rit.edu/gentoo/experimental/mips/desktop-loongson2f/
Instructions for installation are at
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/mips/yeeloong.xml
I have two images up. One called vanilla and one hardened. Both are
full XFCE4 desktops, "grown" from an earlier stage 3 that Matt Turner
built. They have ABI=o32, n32 and n64. The hardened one uses the
compile we work with in hardened gentoo and it turns on ssp, pie,
_FORTIFY_SOURCES=2, bind now and relro by default. The vanilla does
not. The hardened is slower than the vanilla by just a little bit (I
tested that) but I did not test o32 vs n32 vs n64.
I'd be very interested in seeing benchmarking.
BTW, new images are going to go up soon that 1) have updated packages,
and 2) the kernel allows you to create a separate /boot formated ext3
and frees up / for any format you want.
