Hello everybody,<br>
<br>
We the Gentoo@Openmoko team are pleased to announce that we reached<br>
our first milestone for running Gentoo on the Freerunner. This mean you can<br>
cross- and natively compile a basic system including X, enlightenment,<br>
the FSO framework, WLAN tools and many more packages. Also some<br>
phone GUIs went already into the overlay located at</blockquote><div><br>Great! <br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
- the Gentoo feeling ;-)<br>
- forget about version conflicts<br>
- frequent enlightenment updates<br>
- easy integration of new packages<br>
(start writing ebuilds yourself, it's trivial!)<br>
- multiple phone stacks<br>
- CHOICE</blockquote><div><br>"Because Gentoo is about choice we do <strong>not</strong> focus on a single software stack but rather provide the user with alternatives to choose from" is what I like more in gentoo.<br>
<br>I'll be very happy to switch from illume to matchbox every time I need :)<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
So to all Gentoo lovers: Stop-by and get the experience the Gentoo<br>
feeling on your phone!</blockquote><div><br>Ok! I'll search for updated instructions somewhere, building everything is fascinating, but please provide a stage3 :) <br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Disclaimer: Even though we did a great step in the right direction,<br>
there are still enough pitfalls, packages that don't compile and<br>
difficulties in setting up the cross-compile environement. So at this<br>
point in time Gentoo is _NOT_ ready for the average user. If you try<br>
nevertheless, be prepared for a bumpy journey! You have been warned!<br>
<br>
Best regards and happy compiling! ;-)</blockquote><div><br>I think now is the time to give a try to nfs over usb :)<br></div></div><br>Regards<br><br> Nicola<br><br>
