11 Boston Linux World Expo: The Après-Show report
12 -----------------------------------------------
13
14 The Linux World Conference and Exposition was held last week at the Hynes
15 Convention Center in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. Gentoo Linux had a booth
16 in the .org pavilion, nestled between the friendly folks from Fedora and
17 that lovable lot from the Linux Terminal Server Project. On display were
18 an array of systems demonstrating the wide array of architectures that
19 Gentoo is available for. The main draw was clearly the diminutive Mac Mini
20 with the big cinema screen, brought by Daniel Ostrow[1]. Also present were
21 Daniel's Sparc Ultra 60, several x86 laptops, and an AMD64 and several
22 embedded goodies brought by Mike Frysinger[2].

26 A full team of volunteers helped staff the booth. Besides Mike and Daniel,
27 Seemant Kulleen[3], Chris Gianelloni[4], Dylan Carlson[5], Jeffrey
28 Forman[6], Peter Johanson[7], Luke Macken[8] (lewk), Rajiv Manglani[9],
29 Andy Fant[10], Chris Aniszczyk[11] and Aaron Griffis[12] made appearances
30 and helped out in the booth.

49 Besides the perennial requests for CDs (which we had) and T-shirts (which
50 we didn't), there was a steady flow of interest in the PPC release, and a
51 gratifying number of comments by people who have come to realize that
52 Gentoo has a role to play in the enterprise. Also of note was the
53 forthcoming launch of a Gentoo-based startup[13] that will provide custom
54 binary packages to subscribing users through standard Portage mechanisms.
55 A highlight of the week was the anti-bof, where 30-40 users and developers
56 took over the top floor of the Globe Bar and Grill and got the chance to
57 meet and mingle in person.

60 This was the first year that the LWE was held in Boston, instead of New
61 York, and by all accounts, it was a success. There was a twenty percent
62 increase in vendor exhibits, and attendance was up by a similar amount. It
63 seems likely that LWE will return again next winter, so start making plans
64 for next year. Thanks to everyone who helped to make our presence at the
65 show a success. For those on the west coast, LWE will be in San Francisco
66 from 8 to 11 August. If you are interested in helping with the Gentoo
67 booth at that meeting, please contact the PR team.

69 Last call for FOSDEM
70 --------------------
71
72 More than 40 Gentoo developers, activists and power users have confirmed
73 their presence at this year's FOSDEM[14] on 26 and 27 February in Brussels
74 at the Université Libre de Bruxelles. The local youth hostel has literally
75 been taken over by the participants in the DevRoom organised by Gentoo at
76 Europe's largest open-source conference, and the schedule is packed with
77 presentations by developers from all over Europe. Saturday night life in
78 Brussels will make it challenging to keep the tight schedule for the
79 Gentoo developer meeting on Sunday morning.

85 Thanks to securing sponsorships by the University of Salford and the
86 London Internet Exchange, LINX[15], the Mancunian Gentoo UK
87 Conference[16], scheduled for 12 March at Manchester's University of
88 Salford, was able to drop the entrance fee. Participants are asked to
89 register, but will be admitted free of charge, registration is still

95 Easy subscription to Gentoo RSS feeds
96 -------------------------------------
97
98 Michael Kohl[18] has made an OPML file[19] available that allows to
99 automatically subscribe to three different RSS feeds from Gentoo at once,
100 i.e. the Gentoo Linux news as published on the Gentoo website, the Gentoo
101 Linux Security Announcements (GLSAs), and the feed for packages for x86.
102 Many RSS-readers support importing from an OPML file, making subscriptions
103 easily manageable.

111 Gentooified Kuro-Box
112 --------------------
113
114 The Kuro-Box is a toaster-sized PowerPC NAS (Network Attached Storage)
115 device designed for Linux hackers, owing at least part of its appeal to
116 the clever name: much better than its English translation of simply
117 "black" already does, the "kuro" of the Kuro-Box hints at both the colour
118 and the occultness of what may be lurking in the dark. Based on a
119 Freescale MPC8241[20] (a 603e processor), it exists in two versions:
120 20. http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=MPC8241
121
122 * the original one, at 200MHz with 64MB RAM, a 100Mb ethernet controler
123 and one USB plug (around 160 USD without hard-drive)
124 * the HG version, at 266MHz with 128MB RAM, a 1Gb ethernet controler and
125 two USB plugs (240 USD without hard-drive)
126
127 Obscured by the fact that it was spawned off Buffalo Technology's
128 "LinkStation" storage device series, it's probably the most inexpensive
129 Linux/PPC development environment currently in the market.

132 http://www.gentoo.org/images/gwn/20050221_kurobox.jpg
133
134 The history[21] of the Kuro-Box begins in Japan back in early 2004, when a
135 Buffalo sister company, Kurouto Shikou, decided to sell older LinkStation
136 inventory on the "power users" market. Thus, the oldest and biggest
137 Kuro-Box hackers community is Japanese, and the amount of documentation on
138 their Linkstation Wiki[22] or on Yasunari Yamashita's blog[23] show how
139 active it is. Since a few months, Kuro-Boxes are also distributed in the
140 US and Europe by Revogear[24], and a new non-Japanese community centering
141 around a forum[25] and a wiki[26] now has plenty of English information
142 available to them.

150 In both communities, there had been several attempts at replacing the
151 stock firmware with more generic Linux distributions ever since the first
152 Kuro-Box shipped about a year ago. The original firmware is too much
153 NAS-oriented, i.e. only designed to be a file and printing server, whereas
154 a complete Linux distribution would allow for easy experimentation and
155 unlocking of the platform's full potential. Even setting up Gentoo systems
156 inside the Kuro-Box had been tried before: jmgdean[27] released a Gentoo
157 Total Conversion alpha1[28], and much work was done inside the Japanese
158 community. However, all of those earlier attempts were mixed installations
159 of Gentoo Linux on top of the original firmware: the toolchains were still
160 based on gcc-2.95, many files were not managed by Portage, and there was
161 still some non-free code inside. My beta1 release[29], on the other hand,
162 is entirely built from sources, and exclusively via Portage. It is
163 composed of:

166 29.
167 http://www.kurobox.com/online/tiki-index.php?page=What+is+in+Gentoo+Beta1
168
169 * a stage3 image which can be installed directly on a fresh harddrive,
170 and which completly replaces the original firmware
171 * a Portage overlay, with a few new or modified ebuilds
172 * a custom Portage profile, based on Gentoo PPC 2004.3
173 * many additional binary packages that should cover the most current
174 needs for that kind of system
175
176 The installation process is mostly similar to "normal" Gentoo systems,
177 except that it begins in the so-called "EM mode" in which the box boots
178 when it's not yet set up. This is a very minimalistic environment which
179 can be accessed by both ftp and telnet. From there, you will be able to
180 prepare your drive, chroot, and install the stage3 image. Then you switch
181 the box to the "Normal mode", and hopefully it will reboot using your
182 fresh Gentoo system, which should be accessible by ssh. Detailed
183 instructions are available on a Wiki page[30].

185
186 Known limitation and future work
187
188 The only thing that is not easily hackable is the content of the FlashROM,
189 i.e. the EM mode system and the kernel. The format of the flash image is
190 well-known and documented (at least on some Japanese websites), but, as
191 opposed to many other Linux-based devices, there is absolutely no fallback
192 in case of mistake once you've touched it -- a flashing error or a badly
193 configured kernel will kill it for good. Because of that, most users are
194 still stuck to the original 2.4.17 kernel, which is far from perfect.
195 There are currently two directions explored to overcome this limitation:
196
197 * Installing a proper bootloader in the FlashROM: U-Boot[31] would
198 probably be the best choice, but this project is at too early a stage to
199 give an estimate of its availability.
200 * Dynamically replacing the running kernel. This has been made possible
201 thanks to jochang's work[32], through the load of a simple kernel module.
202 Integrating that kernel switching in the boot process is the top target
203 for Gentoo beta2 (with everything it depends on, like a proper packaging
204 of kuro-ified kernel sources, etc.)

206 32. http://www.kurobox.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=277
207
208 Some other future work items include:
209
210 * improve the distribution system: in particular, use rsync instead of
211 tarballs for overlay/profile
212 * by popular demand, add some meta-ebuilds for some common needs like
213 "mail server" or "MacOSX-friendly server". Or release some kinds of
214 customized "stage4"
215 * some minor improvements all around, like better LED status, maybe more
216 precompiled modules for the stock kernel, etc.
217 * maybe a (semi-)automatic installation process (from a LiveCD?): for
218 some users, installing Gentoo by telnet on a Kuro Box is their first Linux
219 experience, and it seems to be a bit too much at a time...

221 Note: Author Thomas de Grenier de Latour (TGL) is one of the Gentoo Forums
222 moderators, responsible for the French language forum. He will bring a
223 Kuro-Box to FOSDEM in Brussels this coming weekend, if you would like to
224 learn more about this little box or see it in action, make sure to stop by
225 the Gentoo DevRoom.

384 Runtime vs. devel packages
385
386 Stuart Herbert[51] offers some thoughts on split ebuilds: "For years now,
387 RedHat have split a lot of their packages into two sets ... a set
388 containing what's needed at runtime to use the package, and another
389 'devel' package containing header files etc which are only needed for
390 building software. One thing that it's really nice to do with a server is
391 build it with no compilers etc installed. The less that's on there, the
392 less there is to maintain, upgrade, be reused by the black hats, etc etc."
393 But, as it seems, there are also good reasons to do things "The Gentoo
394 Way". Read on for a discussion of the pros and cons of both approaches.

406
407 After being talked about in a Security Focus article the week before,
408 Gentoo developer and operational manager for the Gentoo Linux Security
409 Team Thierry Carrez[53] now had his own column last Monday: "More
410 advisories, more security"[54] is the title of his piece on the
411 relationship between activities in the security arms of Linux
412 distributions and overall safety for users. "Security advisories from a
413 software publisher or packager should not be seen as bad news. There are
414 always vulnerabilities in software, and when an advisory is released it
415 means that one of these flaws has been identified and fixed," explains
416 Thierry. "It also means the good guys have done their homework, and that
417 one less flaw can be used by the bad guys to harm you."

421 Linux Times (14 and 18 February 2005)
422 -------------------------------------
423
424 A flamboyant installation report from Austria hit the online magazine
425 Linux Times on Monday last week, under the heading "One week with Gentoo
426 Linux." The article[55] describes in detail an installation of Gentoo
427 Linux on slightly dated hardware, and tries to shatter the myth of Gentoo
428 being not easily accessible: "If there was a list of biggest GNU/Linux
429 cliches, the statement 'Gentoo is hard to install' would be ranked among
430 the top. Let me tell you a little secret: Gentoo is easy to install," says
431 author Imre Kálomista, a student at Vienna University. And if that wasn't
432 enough, Gentoo again figures as a topic on Linux Times four days later in
433 a review of the Vidalinux release 1.1 in direct comparison to a "real"
434 Gentoo system. The article[56] concludes that the Puerto-Rican binary
435 Gentoo clone strangely lacks binary package support, but mentions a club
436 membership for access to a repository of precompiled packages.
