It seems to me that there's a problem in cooperation between |
2 |
distributions that port the linux kernel to sparc. The reason I say |
3 |
this is, I run a very stable web/mail server on a sparc at work that |
4 |
is running debian with a 2.6.8 kernel. However, in gentoo I've not |
5 |
been able to get a 2.6 kernel that's currently in portage running, |
6 |
much less stable. |
7 |
|

The dilemma here is that I much prefer gentoo sparc in every other |
9 |
respect than the kernel (well maybe speed of getting a running system, |
10 |
but that I understand and am willing to deal with - that's gentoo in |
11 |
general;-). Why is it that their 2.6 kernel is so great while gentoo's |
12 |
is so unstable? |
13 |
|
14 |
Anyways, that said, I have a question. Since the debian sparc 2.6 |
15 |
kernel seems so stable is there any reason why I can't just take their |
16 |
source tree and compile it in gentoo? It seems to me that this would |
17 |
be the best solution to my dilemma. It'd essentially just be a way of |
18 |
taking advantage of their one advantage over gentoo sparc. |
