When it goes out, pretty much everything on my Gentoo system slows down. It's gotten to where just to get an application (like gnumeric) to open I have to su - to root and shut down /etc/init.d/net.eth0 until the Internet comes back on. This morning the internet was out and I'd shut down net.eth0 and then tried to run monodevelop and it refused to start giving me some message about my PC's hostname not being set correctly in /etc/hosts. I checked it and /etc/hosts was correct. Must just be a glitch with monodevelop. My question is what is it about Gentoo that relies so heavily on connecting to the internet? My network was running just fine - just the connection between the cable modem and the internet was down, but everything inside my router should have been fine... -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
