Debian stable in Ati Rage 128 (Xpert 2000)

Xfree 4.3 je popolnoma stable

Debian stable je mišljen dead stable za par let za vse arhitekture, katere podpira, pod polno obremenitvijo in to za zahtevne večprocesorske strežnike. Za x86 desktop mašino je pa stable že unstable (buuu, windows userji )

Pred pol leta, ko sem nazadnje inštaliral Debian-a, mi sploh ni hotel preidet na unstable - sesul med update-om paketov. Ko sem probal Gentoo, ki ima še novejše pakete kot unstable, je pa do sedaj šlo brez vsakršnih problemov (če že nisem ultra-popatchanih 2.6 kernelov s funky fićri uporabljal).

Mogoče je, kar se tiče tega, sedaj bolj stable.

Prihaja Gentoo, ki podpira pre-compiled pakete . Ne samo tako kot do sedaj (GRP, mozilla, oo in pa tisto, kar si sam narediš), ampak s popolnim repozitorijem (sem to prav napisal?)

ja prav si napisal repository = repozitorij

Potem bo pa takoj za stestirati...

Output od emerge --help

--usepkg (-k short option)
Tell emerge to use binary packages (from $PKGDIR) if they are
available, thus possibly avoiding some time-consuming compiles.
This option is useful for CD installs; you can export
PKGDIR=/mnt/cdrom/packages and then use this option to have
emerge "pull" binary packages from the CD in order to satisfy
dependencies.

--usepkgonly (-K short option)
Like --usepkg above, except this only allows the use of binary
packages, and it will abort the emerge if the package is not
available at the time of dependency calculation.

--getbinpkg (-g short option)
Using the server and location defined in PORTAGE_BINHOST, portage
will download the information from each binary file there and it
will use that information to help build the dependency list. This
option implies '-k'. (Use -gK for binary-only merging.)

--getbinpkgonly (-G short option)
This option is identical to -g, as above, except it will not use
ANY information from the local machine. All binaries will be
downloaded from the remote server without consulting packages
existing in the packages directory.
