Using Gentoo Linux in K-12 School’s Computer Lab
,----[ Quote ]
| GHCA recently updated all their computers to run the Gentoo distribution of
| the Linux operating system. This video interviews system administrator
| Michael Surran, exploring the details as to why the school switched to Gentoo
| and how Gentoo is used to improve productivity and functionality.
| Of particular interest is the use of distributed compiled computing (distcc)
| among the 20 Athlon computers to greatly speed the software building process.

"There's a lot of Linux out there -- much more than Microsoft generally signals
publicly -- and their customers are using it..."
--Paul DeGroot, a Directions On Microsoft analyst.

Gentoo still rules

| Gentoo is pretty good for this kind of thing, whatever its other
| shortcomings. Does any other distro make it this easy to do such things? (I'm
| genuinely curious.)

Viva Gentoo

| Talking about a light desktop, there is now a Gentoo project to bring LXDE,
| the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment, to our beloved distro. I already
| committed PCManFM, a fast and lightweight, tabbed GTK+ file manager, which is
| used as the default file manager in LXDE.

Satisfied Gentoo users

| If you, like me, would rather “think positive” — life can be depressing
| enough as it is — then here are some more recent, positive, reactions from
| satisfied Gentoo users...

I keep coming back to Gentoo!

| And in general, portage and all the gentoo associated tools feel better,
| maybe because I have become more accustomed to them. And final point, I do
| not have to install g++, it is already installed. The toolchain is already
| there to compile anything that I want.

New release strategy to provide more current install media
,----[ Quote ]
| In future releases, Gentoo will focus on a more back-to-basics approach that
| will give you up-to-date install media on a regular basis and make much
| better use of our human resources. We're looking into automated weekly builds
| of the minimal CDs and stage tarballs as well as maybe an annual LiveCD
| release. We will keep you updated as we decide on the details of this new
| approach.
