Do You Gentoo?
Well, I am currently on what I hope is the tail end of the stage one bootstrapping process for installing Gentoo. The advantage to compiling everything from source using their BSD-like Portage system. We'll see how this turns out in a bit. Supposedly 1.4 final is coming out this month…
New Mac Mini
I've been looking to get the two noisy linux boxes under my desk into a closet somewhere, because they're so loud. One is a very very old PII or something running Gentoo that I had to put by the window and open because one of the fans was breaking down…
Linux for the Masses
It's not there yet. I'm being totally unfair, because comparing Windows or OS X to the Linux distribution I'm using (Gentoo) is like apples and oranges. Gentoo is meant for people who are comfortable with the command-line and want to experiment. (It'd be fairer to compare Windows to Suse.) But…

Nothing bad about KDE, I switched between it and Gnome while using the Gentoo box as a desktop machine, but I’m uninstalling all graphical elements from the machine. It’s going to be just a headless server.
I think Xorg is easier to get rid of than the old XFree86, best not to have it on there. I this box is internet facing, you might want to remove the compilers, rootkits tend to depend on those.
I think I compile things with kde in gentoo, but I’ve yet to put the actual wm on. I’m still building the machine, but it’s gonna run mythtv so all I really need is x.org and QT.
I don’t know why KDE is so popular – every time I’ve used it I’ve found myself switching straight back to either Gnome or, if the fancy takes me, something more minimalist such as pekWM.
