Uma distro baseada no Gentoo feita em Curitiba!

Sent to you by Fernando B via Google Reader: BeBop Linux Released via
Funtoo by Daniel Robbins by Daniel Robbins on 10/13/08
Marlon Cabrera Oliveira has released BeBop Linux, a customized set of
amd64 stage tarballs based on the Funtoo stage tarballs. Here’s some
info on his project – some specs, a screenshot, and a short interview
below.

First, the technical details. There are two versions: a basic system
version and a startkde version, featuring:

- built with Funtoo Amd64 stage3
- gcc version 4.3.1 (Gentoo 4.3.1-r1 p1.1)
- glibc 2.8_p20080602
- binutils 2.18-r3
- LDFLAGS=”-Wl,–hash-style=both”
- baselayout 2
- OpenRC
- Documentation: Installation Guide


Now – the interview. Tell us a little about yourself.

My name is Marlon Cabrera Oliveira. I live in Curitiba, State of
Parana, Brazil with my wife Josiane and soon with my first son
Fernando. I work as Security Analyst in a Financial Company and I use
Linux since 1998 in 2004 I moved to Gentoo, after using many distros.

What is BeBop, exactly?

Basically the BeBop Stage4 is the result of my personal experience with
custom Gentoo installs. There are two versions: a basic system and a
minimal KDE system. Both were built for the amd64 platform. The main
idea is use a up-to-date toolchain (gcc, glibc, binutils..) with a
stable branch, like Bob P did with "Stage 1/3 Installation Method".

What made you decide to create it?

The goal is provide a powerful, optimized, reliable and stable
Gentoo(Funtoo) system, for the brave :). Another point is that BeBop
Stage4 tarballs can save a lot of time. On the startkde version for
example, users just need to emerge their favorite "desktop" programs.
So I believe that BeBop Stage4 tarballs are a fun (and fast) install
method and a nice desktop system as well.





Very Cool, Marlon – congratulations on the release of BeBop! Marlon has
written an installation guide for BeBop as well.
