I would love to go there some day. But it is half way around the world and in the middle of a huge desert. Great photo that is going into my wallpaper rotation. |

Think back to the 1970's and a TV series called Space 1999 (at least in the USA). It was a series about the moon blown free from Earth orbit by a very bad nuke explosion.
Cool model work for the time, poor writing even by scifi standards. |

alien converted the rpm but it did not work, should have know it was some Red Hat/Mandrake rpm using who knows what old lib and modifications.
I guess if I dig up an old gcc and recompile my kernel with that it might work. I think it is time to bury the Nomad II the driver developers think so. |

The Nomad II driver is dead. It has not been updated in 18 months and does not compile against the 2.6 kernel. The RPM is broken and requires lib not in my distro.
My five your old Nomad still works fine but I have to use Windows to download stuff to it. I guess it is time to retire it and get an iPod or something more modern. |

Nice picture but those are not what we call sunflowers in the USA. |

I remember more time in the editor than I have ever done in Debian. Come on you have to edit your fstab, after manually creating your disk system. Edit your gub files, they really need a update-grub script like Debian has.
Gentoo was ment to be a learning tool, every fool should try it once. There is a reason that automatic transmissions out sells manual transmission in cars. Debian and SUSE have the best configuration scripting out there. It is very rare that you have any problem with the experimental packages. That is because a lot of time is spend to have very good install scripts that really work.
All to often the install script for Gentoo is your favorate text editor and a readme file. If that is what you like use it. Just don't brag that you spend ten hours getting KDE compiled and another two in the editor fixing up the configuration, because most people would rather use the computer for other things. Any speed gained is more than make up in the time lost in the portage compile time.
Gentoo was not what I wanted, Debian is a lot closer, enough of this flame. I still think it is a great wallpaper. |

Odd KDE 3.1.5 is in experimental right now and it didn't take me 12 hours to compile it! Apt-get.org has pointers to all the cutting edge stuff you could want for Debian, and it will not take days to compile it and unlike Gentoo there are get install scripts that set up the packages correctly. Gentoo takes for ever to compile and thne leaves it up to the user to get the install config after the install.
Great wallpaper, maybe Gentoo will be as good some day. |

The Hard Disk drive mount and unmount icons are reversed from all the other device icons, i.e. an unmounted Hard disk has the green triangle in the lower left but a CD-ROM doesn't have the triangle until you mount the disk.
Otherwise I think they look great! |
