X-Archives-Salt: f9494813-8843-4efd-96ac-e2d24019d6c3 X-Archives-Hash: 65830d6feaeb2af4f81a044c0da6ce6c Hello all Gentoo developer, I get an (maybe dumb) idea: Gentoo is VERY OPTIMIZE for your hardware because you have to compile one program by another, and manual fix any problem happen. It is a turn off for Linux newbie even though s/he has a lot of patience. Is there a way to comprise? Assuming the user has a lot time and no trouble happen inbetween. I would suggest how about writing an intelligent installer that will automatically check dependency, download it and install it like urpmi in Manadrake or apt-get in Debian so even new user can enjoy the benefit of optimization WITHOUT the hardwork? i.e. I want to install X, just tell the program and it will take care of the whole process for me. Is it possible? Or how about a pre-written scipt that will do the compile process for different type of pre-set usage like Desktop, Mutimedia, Networking, Internet? i.e. It is not a pre-installed package, it is a pre-set packager that will do the packaging right in front of the user's eye. Each user get the same package and script yet it is OPTIMIZE for their computer after they install it. What do you think about this idea?
