[gentoo-user] Cannot emerge libgksu: lacks XML::Parser

I've got portage's dev-perl/XML-Parser-2.36, but nevertheless several packages have started to fail during emerge for lack of Perl's XML::Parser. Even the simple script fails to run under perl: > #!/usr/bin/perl -w > > use XML::Parser; > > print "yes\n"; Do I have to get it from CPAN? Consider li

Re: [gentoo-user] {OT} SSD instead of RAID1?

I read on this list that the kernel needs *some* swap, even just a tiny amount, to function properly.  Is that true?  If so, do you think it would be OK to put this tiny amount of swap on a cheap SSD? >>> >>> I have no swap and things work just fine. (8 gigs of RAM) >>> >>> Obviously

Hi, I have 4 identical machines, they only differ in the 2 files /etc/conf.d/hostname /etc/conf.d/net I'd like to maintain only one of them (updating GenToo upto several times a week) and 'rsync' the other ones. Now, rsync'ing a life root filesystem is risky. I don't see any problems for the FS
