I have been looking for different image manipulation tools for linux,
and I wanted to try cinepaint, but as there is no version in the tree,
I wonder if anyone has had success with either the - ebuild in

Does anyone know a tool (other than ghostscript) that is able to convert
a PDF (or postscript) to grayscale?
Ghostscript does this, but is unable to convert gradients and fills
(they're replaced by bitmaps) which results in a too big file unless I
drastically reduce quality.

ctually add 6GiB of RAM, you'll probably be able to do it
all from RAM (8GiB for the file, and the other 2GiB for whatever else is
running).
It is better to see it as BillK describes - not a way to extend your
memory, but a way to store not-that-frequently-used pages when you need
to load something else.
It saves money, but it's still expensive - on time.

I think pk wanted to point that, as cdparanoia read the disks, that
means they probably are CDs.

Well, I think it's still possible to use INT13 for disk access :-)

ems, one can always have a separate /boot in
ext2, and use other filesystem everywhere else. It makes a grub update
less urgent.
Also, if they change - again - the way hard drives are accessed, just
because some "oh, 8GiB is so big, no disk will ever be that large"
barrier was hit, people may need some fix to access a kernel which is
129 PiB away from the first block.

Stuff can be finished, given the /current/ requirements. But
requirements change.

I would check if there is any error or warning in the kernel log when
that happens.
just do
dmesg | tail
after the error, to check the last lines in the log.

Check also /dev/cdrom*. Maybe it got another name, as there are at least
three rules to symlink that drive (if it matched all rules, udev would
create the three links, but the third rule looks different).

Maybe this will do, I never tried it.

I like to have framebuffer in the console, I don't think it's actually

It is a problem caused by the settings needed for Linux to live with
Windows on the same computer.

mechanism between both operating systems so that one can tell if the
other already changed the clock.
Unless windows now supports UTC clocks, you have to live either with
this or with an always on winter clock on windows.

- add regex support: this would allow exclusion on .unmask, but the
syntax may not be the best, and it must ensure it doesn't break with
existing atoms (there are atoms using asterisks and package versions
have lots of stops)

But the future will tell us if there will be enough differences to
justify an ebuild. As it's now a different project, it's pretty possible
differences will arise.
It also depends on whether Oracle and go-oo will want to incorporate
changes from LibreOffice.

You just need to feed linux with the right parameters, so it finds the
root filesystem. Grub id's themselves should remain the same, I suppose.
Also, as GRUB allows you to edit commandlines, you can do this by trial
and error (but a good initial guess is still worth it).
