To Test if the Powersupply is bad: 1) Remove PSU from the case all together. 2) Look at the ATX connector, there will be a Green wire. Short this wire to ground with a small wire or conductive material (paperclip, etc) 3) If you have a voltmeter handy, Voltages on the ATX supply should read as

The distfiles directory is around 15 gigs, you can save a LOT of space if you exclude many of the larger files like UT2k3, OpenOffice (there are several versions), the KDE i18n stuff and all of the Linux kernels (the ebuilds download the kernel packages from kernel.org anyways). Check the rsync

Just my opinion, unless you change hardware a lot, I don't think there is an advantage. Some things though, like I2c support, you want as modules because you might not be sure which one your hardware supports and you can auto-detect it. I've been using linux full time for about 6 months now,

I think the php eclass should have information to detect what mta is actually in use and where the proper sendmail compatible binary is and during postinstall, modify the php.ini. Or simply not have the check for /usr/sbin/sendmail. It makes sense on doing the check for /usr/sbin/sendmail as it

Php does not require sendmail, you can use Qmail, postfix, exim or any other sendmail compatible mailer. You would then need to change the php.ini to reflect the location of the sendmail compatible binary (Qmail automaticly (or should) symlinks /var/qmail/bin/sendmail to /usr/lib/sendmail). You
