Hello, |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
good to know that someone keeps an eye on this. :-) |
| 7 |
I've added myself (my email-address) to the "gentoo-installer"-list |
| 8 |
some days ago and was wondering, if there are any activities |
| 9 |
on this project. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
I already found (and read some of the) documentation |
| 12 |
that was realeased on this project, but -- to be honest -- |
| 13 |
not very much (current) information seems to be available. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Although I have a rough idea of where it is heading to, |
| 16 |
I would be very happy to get more technical details. |
| 17 |
Maybe I can add some value... |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
I've been working in the fields of Desktop and Software-Management |
| 20 |
on Win32-platforms for about 8 years, with focus on enterprise |
| 21 |
environments, i. e. thousands of clients. |
| 22 |
Always tracking the progress in the fields of Open-Source-Software |
| 23 |
and especially Linux, I decided mid of this year, that time has come |
| 24 |
to go back to the/my roots, i. e. Linux. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Since then I'm spending quite a lot of my (spare) time to become |
| 27 |
familiar (again) with current Linux/OpenSource Technology. |
| 28 |
I think it was predictable that I bumped into gentoo-linux, |
| 29 |
because "portage" (compile from source) seems to be the "natural way" |
| 30 |
of integrating Open-Source-Software into an (automated) client setup |
| 31 |
and later then into a Change-Management-Process for enterprise clients... |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
At the moment I am working on making PXE and a Mini-Kernel (genkernel, busybox, ...) |
| 34 |
available on a fli4l-Router (www.fli4l.de) to implement an OS bootstrap that |
| 35 |
allows Win32 and Linux to be installed automatically. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
In the later case I would like to "pass the baton" as early as possible... |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
So it's quite clear that I'm very interested in all "gentoo-installer" activities. |

| After reading it more thoroughly, I see that the top entry (some |
| 54 |
| alpha-type release) is February, and we've actually had one ChangeLog |
| 55 |
| entry (yay codeman!) between June and now. |
