Brief Hello

Filed under: Linux Techy Stuff — by Ron on July 18, 2006 @ 10:42 pm

I’m writing this post using Firefox on Gentoo linux. I’ll still be installing pieces and parts for a couple days. But, I’ll be able to background most of that. The list of software that I can install by a single command is rather impressive. I haven’t counted but I expect it to be in the range of 10-15,000 titles.

I even took a couple hours out tonight to play games ;)

Overlooking the hurdles I had in getting it running, I’m quite impressed. Installing software and keeping it current is exceptionally easy. Builds that are going on in one window do not affect the performance elsewhere in the system :)

  1. I tried installing Gentoo and Ubuntu. I kept getting an error when both tried to load the GUI. Any ideas why?

  3. Daryl, you can email me a snippet of the error message(s) and I might be able to suggest things to look for. I probably pretty much ran into most of the more common ones between this system at the vector linux install.
