Re: [gentoo-user] portage alternatives
from Michael Vetter: just for fun I am reading about alternatives to portage. So far the most interesting I found are: paludis and pkgsrc. paludis mostly because it seems to come from some gentoo-like enviroment and pkgsrc because of the nice thought to have the same pkg files for multiple OSes. Is anybody of you using one of them and can tell me about pros and cons? I've read a bit about paludis, the package manager in Exherbo, forked from Gentoo, but haven't got to try it yet. I am familiar with pkgsrc, use only in NetBSD where it is native. For FreeBSD, I use the FreeBSD ports, notice that pkgsrc seems to have nothing to compare to portmaster and portupgrade. In pkgsrc, you can update all packages with pkg_rolling-replace, but not so easy to update just one package/port and its dependencies. pkgsrc seems directed at BSD, where there is a distinction between packages and base system. In Linux, I get the impression that everything is a package, including what would be part of a BSD base system and not well-covered in pkgsrc. I've fallen behind on following this list, too many emails elsewhere, which is why I'm late in responding here. Tom

[gentoo-user] old EEE PC 1000
I have an old Asus EEE PC 1000 and I don't think it will run Gentoo, it would be too slow to compile anything. It is running Ubuntu 11.10 and I think I'll need to re-install lighter version of Linux on it. What are my alternatives? I'll would like to run VPN, some browser on it and skype. -- Joseph
