[gentoo-user] [maybe ot]Accelerometer hacks for Lenovo and -possibly- Macbook laptops

Alan E. Davis ha scritto: Thanks to advice on this list I have a reasonably stable system now, and it's time to get hands dirty. I have more GB of collected files than I can fit into my ~/ home directory, so I am planning to link several partitions to ~/ in an effort to organize this mass.

[gentoo-user] incompatibility between OOo and firefox 3 ?

Hi, Not being quite an early adopter, I was nonetheless thinking about upgrading to firefox-3. I did a bit of googling and I found this bug: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=228283 where the final comment says that OOo 2.4.x and firefox 3 are not compatible. The bug is signed as INVALID.

[gentoo-user] [extremly, wildly, obscenely OT] Is there a Linux system without GNU userlands?

Hi, I ask it here because I really don't know where to ask it. Is there a Linux system somewhere with a *non-GNU* userland? I wonder in particular if: - there are Linux systems using the BSD userlands - there are Linux systems using completely non-standard userlands... let's say, non-Unix tool
