School

One final down – no problem. One final tomorrow – medium difficulty. One final a week from tomorrow – sad face.

Thank you for using Gentoo.

Thank you very much. I will test when I get home. Quick developer responsiveness like this makes me feel that Gentoo is a high-quality and well maintained distribution. It also makes me feel part of it. Thank you for doing this for a community distribution. – Gentoo user (https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=249390#c3) Just wanted to say thanks myself to all the Gentoo Users out there that are participating in this “community distro” as well.

On virtualization...

*I do not wish to support this in ANY way, shape, or form. Use it how you wish, but do not expect help with it. Sorry. Well, I quit using VirtualBox for my virtualization needs. I am now using kernel based virtualization, or kvm. Kvm offers many advantages, in my opinion, the key being the simplicity and ease of use. I did not like the VBox abstraction. kvm’s core code is *in* the kernel, userspace tools are in a package.

Gentoo: Best Webcam?

Dear lazyweb, In your experiences, what has been the best webcam to use with Gentoo? I would like to use skype or some other video messaging app to talk to my girlfriend studying abroad next semester but I haven’t used (or setup) a webcam before. Thanks all.

Gentoo: USE=kerberos removed from the default profiles

Hi, News item: The kerberos USE flag has been removed from the default desktop profiles. If you relied on this use flag (unlikely) then you should add it to make.conf again. There was discussion about this flag and its validity when the e2fsprogs-libs upgrade was happening on the stable tree. Anyway, it is now removed. Read more [here][1].
