Hello list, I'm going round in circles here. I've been running VirtualBox and BOINC for years with no problems to speak of. Over the last year or more I've experienced mysterious failures in many programs, some of them real nuisances, and recently I decided to replace my RAM modules with a

Hi, I found this http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/glibc-Dramatische-Sicherheitsluecke-in-Linux-Netzwerkfunktionen-3107621.html and the daily update contains an update to glibc. Is this the patch, which fixes that problem? Best regards, Meino

[gentoo-user] Can I install/admin a bootmanager from USB stick?

I'm ordered a new system for use for experimentation. Right now, I'm looking at putting ReactOS and Minix3.3 on it. Problem... I don't think either one is capable of booting the other. I suppose I could do a basic install of linux, and use its bootloader. But that's overkill. Is there a

I tried to run a docker-compose.yaml file and it exploded with a version error. When I asked around about what I did wrong, it turns out that it requires docker-compose version 1.6.x and Gentoo doesn't have anything newer than 1.5.2. Is there an official overlay for this sort of thing, or do
