Good question. :-) > I am curious because > of the development nature of reiserfs, there are still numerous bugs - > especially related to nfs support. Hmm, I'm using reiserfs over a year here (2.2.14/2.5.12 with suse's knfs patch) and I never had corrupted files. It is true that there where lots of bugs in the 3.6 version but there where only several files corrupted sometimes over here. Since 2.4.1-pre8 reiserfs is included in the kernel and the latest ac patch contains good fixes for various latency problems. Of cause the only working journaling fs that can be used with nfs is ext3. I included Neil Browns and Chris Masons nfs/reiserfs patches in the latest kernel package. They are of beta quality but I did not have problems with it (running since 3 days). If reiserfs looks still too dangerous for you, you can still use ext2. But I think reiserfs/nfs will be quite usable in the near future when we release 1.0. > I believe grub is alpha as well, but I > have not heard that it is anything but release quality in nature. You can still use lilo if you run into trouble with grub. I think it is declared as alpha because the dev's want to add a lot more functionality to it. In my eyes grub is much easier to handle that lilo and I had no problems with it till now. achim~ > > > Tom Veldhouse > veldy@veldy.net > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: > To: > Sent: Monday, January 29, 2001 11:51 AM > Subject: Re: [gentoo-dev] Good place to start? > > > > > The intelligence behind building the entire distribution does reside in > Portage; > > however, we do have an installation CD ISO image that has pre-built binary > > packages.
