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 ;) |
