Hi there, |
2 |
|
3 |
I'm just following these discussions since I'm really a newbie to linux. |
4 |
However, I've got some questions you may be able to answer: |
5 |
|
6 |
1. Checking what packages you need |
7 |
|
8 |
Is there a way to determine the dependency status of the whole system (check |
9 |
what packages are missing). I know there's an ebuild command to check the |
10 |
dependency of a single package. So do I have to write a shell script which |
11 |
goes through the db and checks every single package in there? |
12 |
|
13 |
2. (Actually not Gentoo related) Organizing data. |
14 |
|
15 |
Comparing Linux to Windows I realized the differences in managing data. Eg. |
16 |
linux (and unix?) uses a "spread out" system collecting data of the same |
17 |
type (like libraries, binaries, documentation) whereas Windows puts data |
18 |
together (each program has its own directory). Is there a proper technical |
19 |
term which describes these two models? |
20 |
|

I'd gladly help you out with the website. Though I'm not really working with |
25 |
linux. |
26 |
Yet, I'm just a Windows, Outlook and Photoshop lamer ;) |
