35 Gentoo Technologies to partner with Super Computer, Inc. to bring Gentoo
36 Linux to the Opteron and other enterprise platforms
37 -----------------------------
38
39 We're pleased to announce that Super Computer, Inc.[2] (SCI) will be helping
40 the Gentoo Linux development team to create a 64-bit version of Gentoo Linux
41 for the AMD Opteron processor. SCI will initiate this relationship by
42 providing the Gentoo Linux development team with a dual Opteron workstation as
43 well as any other assistance required to officially support for the AMD
44 Opteron platform.
45
46 In cooperation with RackSaver, SCI will arrange for early access to future
47 enterprise-class hardware. RackSaver has joined SCI in its efforts to support
48 the continued development of Gentoo Linux into an enterprise-level operating

78 Starting with the current issue, the GWN will feature this brand-new
79 section. Here you'll be given the chance to share your story with the
80 Gentoo community!
81
82 So did you just switch an entire serverfarm to Gentoo? Have you convinced
83 your grandma not to make steaks out of Larry the Cow? Or did you build a
84 gigantic space station running Gentoo Linux, to take over the world? Tell
85 us! Anything interesting, funny or plain unbelievable you discovered while
86 installing, using or modifying Gentoo Linux is welcome! Just send your
87 story to user-stories@g.o and enjoy your 15 minutes of fame! ;)
88
89 Due to the sheer volume of responses that we expect, please don't be
90 offended if your submission doesn't make it into the GWN. There are
91 thousands upon thousands of Gentoo users, but only one issue of the GWN
92 each week.
93
94 Enough talking, let's get the ball rolling and take a look what our first
95 featured user has to tell us:
96
97 Kai-Uwe Kriewald and rsync7.de.gentoo.org
98
99 Kai is currently 35 years old and living in Hannover, Germany. There he's
100 working at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts[3] where he and his
101 3 colleagues are trying to keep the University's IT infrastructure up and
102 running. This is not always an easy job when you have to cope with about
103 6000 students, 100 workstations (Windows) and 15 servers
104 (Novell/Windows/Linux). Despite his job his hobbies include everything
105 regarding computers, as well as movies/going to the cinema, riding his
106 bike and reading (especially dramas and Science Fiction).
107
108 3. http://www.fh-hannover.de/english/ueberblick/index.htm
109
110 Why Gentoo Linux?
111
112 Kai discovered Linux when the Kernel was still at version 0.9x and using
113 it involved a lot of DIY. After a while he switched to SuSE Linux which he
114 effectively run for several years. Like Larry the Cow he became frustrated
115 with all the bloat and graphical wizards featured in most of the latest
116 distros and started to look for an optimzed server OS which gives full
117 control over every detail of the configuration to the admin. At the end of
118 2002 he finally discovered Gentoo Linux which seemed to fit his needs just
119 perfect.
120
121 Running the mirrors
122
123 Actually Kai found out that he liked Gentoo so much, that he decided to
124 set up a rsync (rsync7.de.gentoo.org) and distfiles mirror. He did this
125 out of two reasons: first he wanted fast access to all the distfiles in
126 the initial phase of trying out and setting up Gento Linux. On the other
127 hand he says he wanted to support Gentoo Linux and give something back to
128 the community which made and still makes this great distribution possible.
129 This is an excellent example of how open source/free software should work!
130
131 Currently a Celeron 1.3GHz, with 256MB of RAM, a 100GB HDD and a 100MBit
132 connections is used for mirroring. This is soon to be replaced by a P4
133 2.6GHz, with 1GB RAM, a 250GB HDD and a 1GBit connection. But Kai has
134 bigger plans for the future: he wants to set up a High Availability
135 cluster using two of the latter systems.
136
137 Conclusion and future prospects
138
139 Thanks to years of experience in running mirrors (in his "Windows days"
140 Kai used to run the primary Tucows mirror for Germany), good advice by
141 Kurt Lieber[4] and the nice people on the mirror-admin mailing list, he
142 dind't run into any major problems yet (except for using compressed rsync
143 which he deactivated). The mirror is offering distfiles to the users in 3
144 different ways: rsync, WWW (Apache[5]) and FTP (PureFTPd[6]). All these
145 packages are well tested and documented, so running them shouldn't give
146 you too much headaches.

151
152 With ongoing hardware upgrades Kai and his team continue to replace SuSE
153 installations with Gentoo Linux and plan to also use it as firewall,proxy,
154 database and CMS server. Sadly they couldn't get Gentoo to run Informix
155 9.3 (Kai thinks this is due to too new libraries in Gentoo Linux), which
156 is now run on SuSE 8.1.
157
158 If you have questions regarding setting up and running mirrors for Gentoo
159 Linux you can contact Kai by mail[7].

167 Jack Morgan
168
169 Jack Morgan[8] is one of the Gentoo-SPARC project co-leads, and as such
170 makes sure that releases get ready, new developers get recruited, bugs get
171 fixed, ISOs get made, and more. A Gentoo-SPARC developer since July 2002,
172 just after the SPARC port began, Jack has met about half of Gentoo's
173 developers at Linux World Expo, FOSDEM, and in Oregon, where he lives, and
174 his goal is to meet over 80%.
175
176 8. jmorgan@g.o
177
178 Jack's favorite applications include Mutt and exim, not to mention Tux
179 Racer. He has a SPARCStation 5 on which to do testing, an Ultra 30, his
180 main development box, as well as two Athlon XP boxen: a fileserver and a
181 workstation; he uses SCSI disks whenever possible. He usually doesn't run
182 XFree, but uses fluxbox when he does, as well as irssi, mutt, and many
183 other console apps. Jack recently moved to Eugene, Oregon from Japan,
184 where he lived for eight and a half years and met his wife. He spends most
185 of his free time with his three kids, but also runs marathons and likes to
186 play Japanese board games like Shogi and Go.

195 Alleviating the Pressure on rsync Servers
196
197 Last week's GWN reminded Gentooists that synching the portage tree should
198 be reigned by sanity, as opposed to abusing the system by issuing an
199 'emerge rsync' every other hour or so. A few of the usual suspects in the
200 Forums, always true to form, quickly picked this up and started offering
201 their own clever solutions, including checks of the CVS changelogs and
202 only synching if anything of interest to somebody's own configuration has
203 been updated.

221 Binary Packages in Gentoo, Portage in Other Distributions?
222
223 Source distribution evangelists are hardly ever tempted by pre-compiled
224 applications, and even if they were, serving all USE flag permutations via
225 the Gentoo Reference Platform just doesn't look feasible, does it now...
226 Contrary to popular belief, there are rather nice binary package
227 management systems out there, like Arch's Pacman or Crux' cvsup-based
228 ports system, but would they make sense as tools in Gentoo? Have a look at

240 gentoo-user as a newsgroup
241
242 Let's face it, we can all use some extra time during the day. If you're
243 like the many who suffer through several high traffic mailing lists per
244 day, a little time organizing could save you hours! No, we're not going to
245 sell you a pocket organizer or even encourage you to buy a rolodex. What's
246 at hand here is a sound discussion on how to best sort through the
247 gentoo-user list. Apparently, using gmane[14] as a newsgroup reader and/or
248 gnus[15] to sort through threads is a popular solution. Martin Gramatke
249 pointed out[16] how to subscribe to the gentoo-user list as post only and
250 use gmane to read the list.

261 why rsync?
262
263 It appears that some members of the gentoo-user community, namely Rev.
264 Jeffrey Paul, question[18] the use of rsync in Gentoo's package managment
265 system. His complaint is simple; "rsync requires special server and client
266 software, increases loads on the servers, and significantly limits the
267 number of mirrors (by not being http/ftp compatible)." Others think a
268 change to the system is not necessary at the moment, as Paul de Vrieze
269 best describes[19]. While others want to see rsync further tweaked[20] ala
270 Mandrake's Troels bandwith saving system. Whatever the case, this is an
271 enlightening thread covering an interesting issue.

282 More Portage Sync Etiquette
283
284 Sticking to the topic of bandwith saving and rsync, Louis Candell began a
285 long discussion[22] on the proper methods of updating multiple Gentoo
286 machines on a LAN. NFS[23] (Network File System) was the agreed upon
287 solution. Rex Young let us know that "It[NFS] just works, and it's just
288 easy.  If you export /usr/portage to all of the machines on the network,
289 syncing from any one of them leaves all of them synced.  It really saves
290 bandwidth, and can be used to ease some of the administration on the
291 machines." If you plan on implementing NFS to share a common /usr/portage
292 tree, reading Marius Mauch's approach[24] may help, and be sure all GIDs
293 and UIDs match on all machines and that you read Lee Fickenscher's
294 advice[25].

310 to add functionality or even entirely replace the current system based on
311 shell scripts with one written entirely in Python.
312
313 New service dependency
314
315 The idea came up to add a means of communicating when a script has started
316 successfully, in between init and the service scripts. So the service can
317 rely on another being up and functional before starting up itself.Read
318 about[27] how this would work.

520 9. Tips and Tricks
521 ==================
522
523 Using Fluxbox Autogrouping
524
525 If you use the Fluxbox window manager, autogrouping and tabs allows you to
526 view programs as a grouped window instead of separate windows. This week's
527 tips demonstrates this feature using Eterm as an example.
528
529 First, you have to edit your ~/.fluxbox/init file. Make sure the group
530 file is defined.
531
532 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
533 | Code Listing 9.1: ~/.fluxbox/init |
534 |-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
535 | |
536 |Add the following line |
537 |session.groupFile: ~/.fluxbox/groups |
538 | |
539 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
540
541 Make sure there are no tabs or extra spaces at the end of the line or it
542 won't work correctly.
543
544 The next file to edit is the ~/.fluxbox/groups file. This file specifies
545 program that automatically open inside a tabbed group. Simply add one
546 program per line.
547
548 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
549 | Code Listing 9.2: ~/.fluxbox/groups |
550 |-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
551 | |
552 |Using our Eterm example, add this line |
553 |Eterm |
554 | |
555 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
556
557 To find out the exact name of the command to put in the file, use the
558 command xprop | grep '^WM_CLASS' and paste the name into the file.
559 Now when you open Eterms, they will open as a group. If you want other
560 programs to do the same thing, just add them to your ~/.fluxbox/groups
561 file.

564 10. Quote/Signature of the week
565 ===============================
566
567 Starting this week, every issue of the GWN will feature a funny or
568 interesting signature or quote seen in the Gentoo community (forums, IRC,
569 mailing lists).
570
571 Gentoo Developer Sven Vermeulen[67] uses the following signature for his
572 mails:
573
574 "Thanks to DRM, you know that something has been built in environment of
575 unspecified degree of security, from source you cannot check, written by
576 programmers you don't know, released after passing QA of unknown quality and
577 which is released under a license which disclaims any responsibility..."
578
579 Something we should all think about...
