Since you ask: my workstation runs Gentoo. My old workstation sometimes does; at other times it's experimenting with other distributions. I have a midget server on the LAN (Atom N270) which runs Gentoo, but it's too underpowered to do all the compiling itself, so it NFS-exports its packages directory to my workstation, where I have a 32-bit chroot set up as an image of the Atom. Emerging is done here, making the packages available for installation on the Atom. This is a cumbersome operation though. The Atom serves web, time, squid proxy, dns, cups and mysql to the LAN. It runs http-replicator and rsyncd to keep a local portage tree for the other boxes. I'd like it to serve mail too, but I've never managed to set that up. My laptop runs Gentoo, Fedora or WinXP. -- Rgds Peter Linux Counter 5290, 1994-04-23
