Re: [gentoo-user] Firefox 3 stability
Hi, I didn't experience any crash with Firefox3, the only problem I had was a rendering issue with the resized pictures, but this bug is related to xulrunner-1.9 and it can be fixed in the xorg config. For me Firefox3 is a lot faster that Firefox2 and I don't have to restart it every 3 days in order to make it responsive again. Regards, Boris.

[gentoo-user] Emerging SVN build when server is down

I have not tried this myself but you can try to copy $DISTDIR/svn-src
to $WORKDIR and use 'ebuild name-of-the-ebuild.ebuild
{install,qmerge}' to install it manually. See 'man ebuild' for
reference.
Maybe you should do 'ebuild name-of-the-ebuild.ebuild unpack' before
so hopefully all other stuff in $WORKDIR is created besides the work
folder itself which fails because of the missing sources. Then copy
the sources manually and run install and qmerge.

FF3 is a bit faster at rendering uses less memory than K or FF2. Otherwise, it's nice in K to have the toolbar at the side of the screen, but it's quicker to open the bookmark menu in FF3 (also at side-screen). I've tried Galeon and Epiphany Epiphany is really today's replacement for the old good Galeon I used that on my previous (now stand-by) machine, but to use it on this machine I'ld have to install 49 Gnome pkgs (ugh).

The only real improvement I've observed as far as performance is concerned is javascript. I wish there were a light version available.

This thread is getting depressing. I use Kubuntu at work and FF3 worked without a hitch since the beta.

Re: [gentoo-user] CD ROM does not play audio CD's
For those still searching for background on this topic to try and understand the effects and discussions of the GPL vs CDDL licensing in other distros and how this may affect your use on Gentoo, you may find the respective articles on wikipedia instructive. Don't just read the brief blurbs included in Wikipedia, but take a look at the citations included in the articles as well. I'm not sure it gives all sides of the discussion, but it should be illuminating on some of the background details that people were requesting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cdrtools#Licensing_change http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cdrkit#Fork Aaron P.S.

With a properly setup desktop, you can remove all references to cdroms and thumbdrives from fstab (leave only permanent mounts for disks etc in there) and rather use the icon that pops up on your desktop when you insert a usb drive. This works because fstab has no special qualities - it's just a list of standard drives you want to have mounted on your computer. What desktop do you use?
