Using Gentoo Linux in K-12 School’s Computer Lab
,----[ Quote ]
| GHCA recently updated all their computers to run the Gentoo distribution of
| the Linux operating system. This video interviews system administrator
| Michael Surran, exploring the details as to why the school switched to Gentoo
| and how Gentoo is used to improve productivity and functionality. Of
| particular interest is the use of distributed compiled computing (distcc)
| among the 20 Athlon computers to greatly speed the software building
| process. …

Gentoo releases, my point of view
,----[ Quote ]
| Reading the article and the comments it looks like PR and advertising are the
| main issues. I couldn't agree more. When a distro comes out with a new
| version, popular sites (slashdot, distrowatch...) write an article, popular
| bloggers try the distro and write their opinion, other bloggers publish
| screenshots... A lot of buzz is generated, and people are aware that the new
| distro is out.

Supercomputer niche chucks rocks at Nehalem
,----[ Quote ]
| The SiCortex super runs a variant of Gentoo Linux and has a tweaked version
| of the Lustre open-source clustered file system controlled by Sun and used by
| many supercomputer centers. Sun bought the company behind the Lustre project
| in September 2007.
|
| SiCortex bought parallel-compiler maker PathScale in August 2007 and ported
| the compiler stack to its MIPS-based Gentoo rev. SiCortex also replaced the
| Linux boot sequence and added system-management tools, but Leonard says that
| the machine looks and feels like any normal Linux-based Beowulf cluster.
