Hello, |
2 |
well i have set my Raspberry (B) with ArchLinuxArm. I decided againts |
3 |
gentoo, because of the long compilling time (for example git takes a long |
4 |
time). Maybe i try gentoo on my second sd card... |

A1: I have set an extra swap partition. I followed this guide for resizing |
7 |
my main partition (i have a 16 GB sd card class 10) and setting the wap |
8 |
partition (or rather swap file?): Raspberry Pi – Partition an größere |

It is in german, but i think that if you are using gentoo, you should be |
11 |
able to follow just the commands, knowing what they do. |
12 |
I am not sure, how much swap you need, because you maybe need space for |
13 |
compilation of programs. Because of this fact i would encourage you to set |
14 |
a swap. How much swap you need/can give depends on the sd card. (I |
15 |
wouldnt't make 1GB swap on a 4GB card). |
16 |
I look forward to hearing more of you, because there are not that many |
17 |
people, talking about gentoo on raspberry (or rather i didn't found many). |

Can't answer A2, and A3, not enough knowledge. |
