I'm setting up a home webserver on Gentoo Linux and was wondering about
the above question. I've read on here many places about people writing
their own ebuilds to install software. One of the pieces of software I
run is Communigate Email, which is commercial software and gets
installed by a script, not by compiling source code. Is this a problem
for Gentoo? Or is this particular software outside the knowledge of
Portage, and as such, not checked for dependencies and such? Thanks for
any help you can give me.
On a totally unrelated question, when I use Firefox in Xfce, I can't us
Ctrl+F4 to close a tab. Does anyone know how I can avoid that? Thanks.
