What?? I've been an active gentoo user/contributor since 2004. Have you ever went to gentoo.org and read or wrote to the forums? I run gentoo on the ppc platform and also the AMD platform. Recently I did an in-place upgrade on my firewall from 2004.1 to 2006.2... and it went successfully. If this is your first install, download the "minimal" install cd, get the box booted, ssh to the box from a web connected pc, go to www.gentoo.org And hit the doc section, follow the docs for your platform. You gotta love how well gentoo does in-place upgrades. It handles this very well.

I am 1000% in favor of this initiative. I have never been able to get PE to work on a PC... always running into install problems. Beefing up PE would be the best advertizing that IBM could hope for... --Bill -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Charles Barouch Sent: Wednesday, May 09, 2007 11:39 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [U2] Incubator - News from the board All, The U2UG board has been discussing the 'incubator plan' and we will soon be presenting a draft proposal to membership. Here's what we are discussing in broad brushstrokes - all feedback appreciated. We want an *easy* *legal* way to get PE editions into the hands of business people, college students, entrepreneurs, and other market expanders. More than that, we need to get people a version of the PE software which is chock full of examples, training materials, and useful information. Here's what we have in mind: We want to build an installer which pulls the PE editions from the IBM website (allowing the user to sign the IBM agreement), pulls Learner Packs from the U2UG website (allowing the user to sign the U2UG agreement - designed to protect the content all of you will - hopefully - contribute). Finally, the installer will bootstrap the Learner Packs into the PE installation, so the accounts, files, and programs, etc. are all in place. The end result will be a full install, with URLs to get them to the U2UG and other key locations. It will allow people to see our technology in the best light possible. Opinions? Flames?
