#gentoo
<[R]> melodos: there is no difference
<brianw> melodos: read the gentoo faq
<t35t0r> favorite space shooter game in portage?
<melodos> so why doing it?
<[R]> melodos: no reason
<melodos> lol
<zid`> all emerge bastet!
<[R]> just try gentoo and see what its like
<[R]> if you dont like it dont use it
<sykopomp> melodos: read faq, become enlightened
<n0kia> compiled use less ram and run faster
<ebfe> ...
<[R]> n0kia: thats a lie
<brianw> haha
<g9sh> i should first start out by saying I havent ran linux in a long time, I used to run slackware some years ago, but it's been some time. That being said, I have this old dell laptop that I had laying around and somehow I got the idea to try out gentoo on it. Unfortunately, when I throw in the 2006.1 livecd, after loading the kernel the screen goes black. When I hit ctrl+alt+bkspce the console flashes for a second, then the screen goes black a
<sykopomp> what [R] said. If you have to ask the questions you're asking, odds are you'll go insane if you try Gentoo
<t35t0r> [R], no it's not
<mankind_tweezer> anyone using rxvt? i can't get it to read foreground/background colors from .Xdefaults, although it reads other settings from there just fine
<t35t0r> [R], try using ubuntu that's compiled for a CHOST of i486 and all apps i486
<brianw> g9sh: use the standard install method and the minimal install cd
<[R]> ubuntu isnt 486
<sykopomp> So you think!!1
<t35t0r> [R], well the distro that;s used at our school
<MTecknology> Skunky: i pasted lsmod and lspci
<melodos> i mean , in my request of finding the best distro that suits me, i;m trying to find the differences and find soemthing to stick into
<Skunky> MTecknology: yup. gimmie a sec
<[R]> melodos: like i already said... just try it
<t35t0r> $ gcc -v Using built-in specs. Target: i486-linux-gnu
<melodos> i see
<brianw> melodos: only real way to find out is use them for a month and define your goals and expectations
<ebfe> I need widescreen wallpapers :(
<melodos> to be honest.. over all ubuntu, fedora, slack, debian and whatever else, i think suse is the best for me...
<g9sh> brianw: that will allow me to continue to install in X?
<melodos> but i'll give gentoo a ry
<melodos> t*
<t35t0r> melodos, you'll learn about the internals because you'll actually have to edit conf files
<Skunky> MTecknology: ok, so, it's either ATA_PIIX (which should match the ICH7 chipset lspci says you've got) or AHCI (which lsmod says is the one that's being used..)
<t35t0r> melodos, although many of the conf files have been gentooified some are the same across linuxes
<melodos> so gentoo is more doing everything by your own?
<brianw> g9sh: no
<t35t0r> melodos, yes
<marienz> heh.
<MTecknology> Skunky: can i use both?
<brianw> g9sh: use the standard install method
<l3oddah> [R], i think that fixed it, thanks a lot
<meeseontheleese> melodos, suse is its own beast, as for what they say about gentoo, it takes some work yeah, but dont let that scare you, it did me the first time i tried it, but after doing the install myself to begin with i got used to it and learned far more then I did when I was ubuntu or in windows
<Adlai> yes, melodos, you will learn a lot more using gentoo, and after about a month on gentoo, you'll feel much more comfortable with any linux system, I guarantee it
<Skunky> MTecknology: you can compile both in, and see which one it actually uses, or see if you can find anything in the output of "dmesg" about which one is claiming your disk
<melodos> damn
<meeseontheleese> Adlai, i guarentee it too
