Dear all
I am Stefan from Switzerland and I am looking for a mentor.
I currently have been pursuing a BEng in Computer Science at the Zurich University of Applied Science.
I am using Gentoo since 2009 on my server and since 2010 on my Laptop.
The biggest problem I have ever had with the system was undoing broken updates of libpng, poppler or dev-libs/gmp
So, I have got the following idea: I would setup Gentoo's root on `BtrFs` so that `emerge` takes a snaphshot every time something is being modified. That way, rollbacks will become easy.
I am not sure if this is the best solution for everyone, because BtrFs is still in development and not always an acceptable choice.
Nevertheless, I believe that this solution is a great one for developers.
I work mainly with
* git (and gitolite)
* kate (JavaScript, C, C++11, BaSH, Python) / eclipse (Java, Java on Android)
* make (compile & deploy)
* LaTeX
Also I have been working with svn, Assembler on Intel x86, Ruby & PHP.
In my free time I play around with inkscape & blender or I play on my guitar.
Best regards
Stefan Schindler aka. Tuxle
