Introduction to Gentoo Linux

Presented by Rajiv Manglani, Gentoo Linux PPC Developer.

Sponsored by MIT SIPB.

Tuesday January 21, 2003, 7-8:00pm. MIT Building 4, room 237.

If you plan on attending, please RSVP to <sipb-iap-gentoo@mit.edu>.

Gentoo Linux is a versatile and fast distribution for x86, PowerPC, 
UltraSparc and Alpha systems that is geared towards Linux power 
users. Unlike other distros, Gentoo Linux has an advanced package 
management system called Portage. Portage is a true ports system in 
the tradition of BSD ports, but is Python-based and sports a number 
of advanced features including dependencies, fine-grained package 
management, "fake" (OpenBSD-style) installs, path sandboxing, safe 
unmerging, system profiles, virtual packages, config file management, 
and more. A completed Gentoo Linux installation is customized and 
optimized for your specific needs.

Gentoo Linux features the latest, modern tools including Linux 
2.4.19+, gcc 3.2.1, LVM, EVMS, ext3, ReiserFS, XFS, Gnome, KDE, qmail 
(with optional mysql and LDAP support), Postfix, exim, GRUB, and 
named (not numbered) runlevels.

We will have an overview presentation and a demo of a finished Gentoo system.
