Hi. Why bash script (the install script), that works in "Debian", does not work on "Gentoo" install CD, giving me syntax errors (basically related to '(', ')' and ''')? In the script is the interpreter line #!/bin/bash and both systems contain bash, that interprets the script, why the

[gentoo-user] [OT] build programs in other distros

Hi, All. I've used a few distros, but mostly for curiosity. Being a Gentoo user for ... well, more than a decade, I'm used to build binaries in a very simple way, that simply works for me. So, I probably learned the way to do it using Gentoo, and nothing else. Recently I tried to build one of

Re: [gentoo-user] BOINC on a hardened system?

By default, BOINC daemon is started by root and supposedly drops permissions after a bit. However, the CERNVM VirtualBox application cannot run as root, so they recommend running BOINC from a user account that has virtualbox permissions; VirtualBox, on the other hand, will not run as root for

[gentoo-user] what about dracut and systemd?

I have not done a world update in a few weeks and I like to check things out first before doing this. I am seeing that the latest update of dracut has the -systemd as a mandatory flag. So, since I have to use systemd, does this mean I can no longer use dracut -- I have found dracut very nice and
