Gentoo inside
So I decided my first project w/ VMware would be to install gentoo and start learning how to use that distribution. For one thing it helps if I could learn how to type correctly or at least check for typos before rebooting into a new kernel. As I type this gentoo’s emerge is building the gnome desktop environment–it has been at it since 9:30 this morning. Emerge looks to be a really interesting app. Which begs the questions: Which came first yum, or emerge? I’ll post up the result of the gnome build as soon as it’s finished, which hopefully be soon now.
Emerge came way before yum. I believe the auto dependency solving apps go in this historical order:
apt-get
emerge
yum
