Funtoo Linux installed!!!
,----[ Quote ]
| Finally, I got Funtoo Linux, a derivative of Gentoo Linux, installed on my
| desktop. Funtoo is a distribution created by the founder of Gentoo, Daniel
| Robbins. In his website, Daniel describes Funtoo Linux as a:
|
| Freshly-built Gentoo Linux variant, optimized for your processor, Funtoo
| Portage unstable branch, includes OpenRC, dhcpcd and git.
|
| He does not call Funtoo a fork of Gentoo though. I like that since he really
| wants to keep the Gentoo community intact.

sidux, antiX, and SimplyMEPIS - still winners in 2009!
,----[ Quote ]
| I have not changed my view of the top desktop systems for my own personal use
| as the landscape of distros changed at the end of 2008, nor have I changed my
| view as we are two months into the 2009 year. I have elevated my view of one
| system - Fedora. I really like the Alpha release of their Fedora 11. It shows
| that even at an early testing stage, they are one of the few projects that
| has managed to package KDE 4.2 well. When you couple that with the fact that
| they are already among the leaders in security and virtualization centered
| projects, this makes Fedora one of the leading projects to follow.

Time to move to Funtoo Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| My primary reason to move to Funtoo is just for fun. I miss the days back in
| 2004 where I stayed up all night getting my new Gentoo system to run. I
| learned a lot about Linux in those days. I feel it is time for me to brush
| up on my skills. Also, Funtoo makes it easier for users to create and update
| their own Funtoo Portage system. A must if a Gentoo-based system ever wants
| to become bleeding edge again.

Funtoo
,----[ Quote ]
| I sit here watching the first emerge --sync go slowly scrolling by in
| preparation for my second go around with Funtoo. The Funtoo creator Daniel
| Robbins, the same man who gave us Gentoo, has started a new project for us
| geeks to play with. My first pass with it was fine, and I still have it
| going, however while it has a functional X server and environment, it never
| made it past being a chroot playtoy. This time I'm putting the code to the
| metal as it were.

The Goal of Funtoo
,----[ Quote ]
| We are not a “fork” of Gentoo in the traditional sense of the word, though of
| course we are trying to do things better (otherwise, what would be the point
| of doing anything?) We are trying to aim to be as compatible with Gentoo as
| possible, so that it is easy for us to share technology with Gentoo.

KDE 4.1.2 Unmasked in Gentoo
,----[ Quote ]
| Jorge beat me to it... I am very pleased to announce that KDE 4.1.2 is in the
| Gentoo official tree and I unmasked it a little earlier today. I think that
| all the big bugs have been squashed but there may be a few left lurking. I
| have learnt a lot more than I ever really wanted to about KDE initialization
| but hopefully that has helped me to improve the KDE experience in Gentoo.

Gentoo still rules
,----[ Quote ]
| Gentoo is pretty good for this kind of thing, whatever its other
| shortcomings. Does any other distro make it this easy to do such things? (I'm
| genuinely curious.)

Viva Gentoo
,----[ Quote ]
| Talking about a light desktop, there is now a Gentoo project to bring LXDE,
| the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment, to our beloved distro. I already
| committed PCManFM, a fast and lightweight, tabbed GTK+ file manager, which is
| used as the default file manager in LXDE.

Satisfied Gentoo users

| If you, like me, would rather “think positive” — life can be depressing
| enough as it is — then here are some more recent, positive, reactions from
| satisfied Gentoo users...

I keep coming back to Gentoo!
,----[ Quote ]
| And in general, portage and all the gentoo associated tools feel better,
| maybe because I have become more accustomed to them. And final point, I do
| not have to install g++, it is already installed. The toolchain is already
| there to compile anything that I want.
