I'm doing the same thing. I bought a barebones system from tigerdirect, and
run Gentoo + imap + fetchmail + squirrelmail. My wife can check mail from her
Windows XP box, I can check it from KMail, Evolution, Thunderbird, mutt, etc.
There's a little setup involved, but worth the effort IMO.

I'm in the market for a printer to replace my aging DeskJet 812C (which has
been a chore getting to work under every linux distro I've tried, including
Gentoo). What I would like is a decent inkjet that is capable of doing photo
quality and is well supported by cups. I will be plugging this

I have a laptop with a wpc11 linksys card installed. I have emerged pcmcia-cs
and linux-wlan-ng, and recompiled my kernel based on the instructions in the
end of teh output from emerging pcmcia-cs, but I'm not quite sure what to do
next. Can anyone give me some pointers?

This may be a silly question, but if there is a piece of software that is only
available as an RPM, how do I go about installing that on my Gentoo box?
TIA

I am trying to get my printer working with cups. I had it working at one point
in time, then had to restore some stuff from backup, and it apparently lost
it's settings. I have followed the printing guide on Gentoo.org, and I have
configured my printer like this:
foomatic-configure -s cups -p
I had some porblems with my system, and some files got deleted. I fixed this
by untarring the stage2 tarball and running 'emerge system'. Now
unfortunately, emerge wants to remove vital things from my system. This is
what happens after I do an emerge portage:

I am currently running qmail + fetchmail + procmail + spamassassin. Everything
works pretty well, but I'm a little dissapointed in spamassassin's accuracy.
I'd ideally like something similar to spambayes, which is trainable.
Unfortunately spambayes does not appear to work with maildir. I'd
Does anyone have any experience with running Gentoo (or any other distro for

I'm eying a replacement for my sucky Toshiba, and these seem to be the only

I'd go with Dell, myself. ;)

Just tried to emerge abiword, and here's what I got:
chromium tkcbase # emerge -p abiword
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

It's expensive, not all that reliable (at least the older versions that I have
familiarity with, and IMO doesn't do anything that can't be done with cheaper
alternatives. Something like a good IMAP server, and some web based software
like horde or phpgroupware.

I don't think they Officially support it, but IBM and Dell laptops both seem

I second this. IMAP is much, much better. I am using fetchmail + qmail +
courier-imap (with procmail and spamassassin thrown in for organizing my
email and getting rid of most of the spam) and it works very well. I

A friend was telling me about Horde today, and I decided to see if there was
