The Gentoo for OS X has been updated and it's now in Alpha. Give it a whirl! http://www.metadistribution.org/macos/

It might be corrupted? I never download iso's using a web browser instead try doing a curl (with curl -O http://path/to/iso) I've heard of the Finder corrupting iso's by auto mounting the image.

http://dev.gentoo.org/~drobbins/portage-osx-drobsnap-20030611.tar.gz Has anyone gave this a shot? I would but I just made a 13GB partition for Gentoo and only 5GB for OS X. IMO Portage is a 10000000000 times better then Fink. I just wanted to know if it's just like the portage that runs...

Really what I would like to see. (since all the iCandy has already been mentioned in this thread I won't repeat it:)) 1) ReiserFS!!! Or something besides ext3. 2) A way to configure the Darwin kernel to fit my needs. 3) Have the Gentoo portage software built in OS X (when it's done ;))...

Well you can use Fink for OS X to get a small feel of the *nix environment. But my recommendation would be to back up everything you have and make a seperate Linux partition that's really the only way to learn linux. Linux has more *nix features then OS X. You can compile your own kernel and...

Octane, I just installed Gentoo on my G3 500Mhz iBook2 and everything works just as I need. The Gentoo installation is a bit of a challenge but trust me when you get it up and running you will love it to death. Out of all the distros I've used Gentoo is the best and for the PPC. :D I've...

I just want to add my 2 cents in (since I'm at work and I don't have anything better to do :)) It's funny how many windows users flame me for using OS X. At least once a day I hear "get a real computer" and "at least I can use a two button mouse" That's just them living in the past. Sure Mac OS...

I'm using Gentoo right now on my G3 500MHZ iBook and love it. And you must love MOL (Mac on Linux http://www.maconlinux.org/) :D Now if only they ported the portage tree over to OS X then no one would be using Fink.

I've had problems with brickhouse and impasse with 10.3 and I wanted a firewall that I could configure without any problem. And also a program that shows me the ipfw logs in realtime.

Has anyone installed any kde or X firewalls on OS X? I really want kmyfirewall to work on my mac but I don't think it will install. Anyone have any ideas on getting a X firewall to work on my mac?

Nice one thanks a lot. I blame Nintendo for me not reading the release notes like I never did read the manual for a video game. :) Thanks again

I've edited every .xinitrc file I could find to open kwin as my window manager but it's still using Quartz-wm when I open KDE. What am I doing wrong?
