I have found gentoo-sources utterly unreliable and finally settled on |
10 |
using only vanilla sources, using the ebuild for convenience. The |
11 |
Gentoo Security warning means essentially nothing to me; it’s not as |
12 |
if the kernel project is out there purposely creating backdoors that |
13 |
we can depend on Gentoo to nail shut. |

(I’ve recently migrated my system from ~amd64 to amd64 -- yes, it can |
16 |
be done -- but am still running 3.2.7 rather than the stable |
17 |
3.2.2. Nevertheless I had to mask the latest ‘stable’ nvidia-drivers; |
18 |
it made gkrellm crash. In the process of fixing that problem, I |
19 |
noticed that OpenCL is around as a more generic alternative to CUDA, |
20 |
so maybe use of that will pick up.) |
