I just build my first gentoo server over the weekend - I love it! I've |
| 2 |
been running Linux on various platforms for about 9 years now and |
| 3 |
gentoo turns out a really nice compact build. I moved this particular |
| 4 |
server from a x86 box running Mandrake 9.1 to a G3/450 machine - so far |
| 5 |
I'm seeing some pretty good speed boosts across the board versus the |
| 6 |
x86 machine (of similar vintage and clock speed). |

I noticed there are a lot of packages that are not currently tested for |
| 9 |
PPC... I've ended up installing a couple of things already that flat |
| 10 |
out aren't available in the PPC or ~PPC portage trees. I'd love to be |
| 11 |
able to discuss/report problems and successes, would this be the place |
| 12 |
to do it? |

The biggest challenge I'm having right now is amanda - I need to get my |
| 15 |
backup system up and running ASAP. Anyone have any luck getting amanda |
| 16 |
working on PPC? I've run amanda on PPC before (older versions under |
| 17 |
Yellow Dog 1.2) so I know it can be done. Anyone running amanda on |
| 18 |
gentoo-1.4 PPC? |
