Hi Gentoo-users, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I have read all articles about Raspberry Pi on Gentoo-wiki, |
| 4 |
but want to ask: Is anybody here really using Gentoo on RPi? |
| 5 |
Is it usable? |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
I have a chance of free housing for my RPi so I thought I give |
| 8 |
it a try, using RPi as backup-DNS/MX (and watchdog) for my |
| 9 |
primary server. Right now I'm facing two questions: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
1. What is better to use as OS-storage: USB-stick or SD-card? |
| 12 |
I have read horror stories about SD-cards being fried/bricked |
| 13 |
quite frequently so I'm a little scared. But I never found |
| 14 |
single post about problems with USB-stick... |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
2. What distro? Right now I'm using Gentoo on all my servers |
| 17 |
but I'm not sure it is the best option for this puppy (Gentoo |
| 18 |
puts quite high demands on filesystem). If I redirect all the |
| 19 |
compilation work to other "mature" server (distcc/crossdev), |
| 20 |
can I use even Gentoo? Or is Raspbian still the better choice? |
| 21 |

BR, |
