Read on for my impressions of FreeBSD and why I am sticking with Gentoo, warts and all.

I learned a lot during my travels. As they say, the trip is half the fun. I still have some reservations, or concerns for the future of Gentoo and a distribution. I believe there are some unhealthy things going on (or not going on). But a few of my original assumptions (from my first post) have changed. Specifially:

The “core team” development model of FreeBSD provides a more stable OS than Linux’s “bazaar” style.

• Not necessarily true, as I found out. What is does provide is a more focused OS. FreeBSD’s stable release is STABLE, and for the tasks which I believe the core team design for, specifically uptime, reliability, and stability, it surely deserves its reputation.
• FreeBSD is not the only open source project with a “core team” style approach. In Linux, some release-based distributions such as Debian have a large and dedicated “QA team” which holds a huge amount of sway over what gets released and when. They may not necessarily develop all the things by themselves, but then again, neither does the FreeBSD core team. FreeBSD surely gets a lot of help in the form of patches from individual and corporate contributors. Their goal then is to make sure the code all works together. Linux QA teams essentially do the same thing on a slightly bigger scale, taking completed packages from other development groups (with their own QA teams) and making sure they work together. We don’t need to think of it like throwing together unrelated parts into a goulash and praying. No, certainly Linux’s core components are designed with the intention of working with the other core components. Linux (the kernel) developers build their kernel with the same GNU toolchain that I do. And many GNU toolchain hackers run on a Linux kernel. They design specifically for a basic “core system” in the same way that FreeBSD develops for a specific “core system”.
• If we think of FreeBSD and Linux like a puzzle, then FreeBSD might look like a standard puzzle, while Linux might look a little more radical, like one of those octagonal puzzles. With Linux, there are many more ways to put it together and have the overall picture work. There are also plenty more opportunities to put it together in a way it doesn’t work. This can be exemplified by FreeBSD vs. Linux’s version of STABLE vs. UNSTABLE. In FreeBSD, stable snaps together like a standard puzzle. It is solid and it just works. In linux, the standard configurations are many, and they also fit together solidly. Though certainly some distributions version of STABLE is not as stable as FreeBSD’s, some are. The big difference comes when we want to move onto UNSTABLE or testing branch of software. For FreeBSD, recutting the tight-fitting puzzle is a painful process. I was very surprised to find that the legendarily stable FreeBSD was a mine-field of circular dependencies and unclear errors in the -CURRENT branch. In contrast, a Linux version of UNSTABLE is usually very reasonable. I more abstract puzzle allows us to pull pieces out and replace them with relative ease. This is a huge plus for Linux. Desktop users tend to require or demand more cutting edge versions of software. Linux gives them that ability, without the blood. Stability is a clearly relative to what you intend to use your system for.
• That brings me lastly to one of the more interesting problems facing Gentoo and Gentoo’s public image. Unlike FreeBSD, or Debian, or Ubuntu or OpenSuse, Gentoo has what’s called a rolling-release cycle. What that means is if you’re updating regularly, then you are always using the newest “version” of Gentoo. There will be nothing different between a version installed in 2006 and one installed yesterday if you incrementally kept things up-to-date. In almost all respects, this is a plus. There is only one downside to this, and I think this recent review of the latest release of Gentoo (2008.0) on Phoronix is a good example:

In recent times the Gentoo Linux and its foundation has been plagued with a multitude of problems and times have certainly been challenging for this once popular distribution. It’s already July and we are now finally seeing Gentoo’s first official release of the year. In this article we are taking a brief look at Gentoo Linux 2008.0 and its changes.

Some of the packages that are updated with Gentoo Linux 2008.0 are the Linux 2.6.24 kernel, X Server 1.3.0, GCC 4.1.2, glibc 2.6.1, Xfce 4.4.2, and Portage 2.1.4.4. Gentoo Linux 2007.0 had shipped with the Linux 2.6.19 kernel, and of course, in that year and a half since its release there are many new drivers and an arsenal of other improvements to the kernel since that time. Gentoo profiles have been completely reworked in Gentoo 2008.0 to allow for significant cleanups of redundancies, reducing developer maintenance, and avoiding unnecessary confusion.

When it comes to the GNOME LiveCD, they have switched from using GNOME to Xfce. Switching to this lightweight desktop environment was done to conserve space on the LiveCD image. Once using the LiveCD installer to install to a disk, you will be left with Xfce 4.4.2, but KDE or GNOME can be built from the Portage source. With Gentoo 2008.0 there is no x86 or AMD64 LiveDVD this time around (at least not for now) due to a decision by the release engineering team to avoid delaying the 2008.0 release any further.

The Gentoo Linux installer now supports network-less installations using the packages and ebuild tree on the LiveCD. In addition, the Gentoo 2008.0 installer has numerous fixes for extended and logical partitions.

If you are interested in downloading Gentoo 2008.0, you can do so from the Gentoo Mirrors.

Sounds boring! After more than a year, that’s all that changed? Hardly the headline grabber that Ubuntu or OpenSuse is (from Distrowatch):

The long-awaited openSUSE 11.0 has arrived: “The openSUSE Project is proud to announce the release of openSUSE 11.0 – everything you need to get started with Linux on the desktop and on the server. [...] The 11.0 release of openSUSE includes more than 200 new features specific to openSUSE, a redesigned installer that makes openSUSE even easier to install, faster package management thanks to major updates in the ZYpp stack, and KDE 4, GNOME 2.22, Compiz Fusion, and much more.“

Now, that makes me want to download it! What most people don’t know is is that Gentoo had KDE4, Gnome 2.22, Compiz-Fusion, etc, in the tree for weeks or months before this release of OpenSuse. It’s a common situation. Gentoo’s users and developers truly are a pioneering bunch, and it’s rare to see a new project come out that doesn’t have an ebuild somewhere. If it’s not in the stable tree, I look in the unstable tree. If it’s not there, I check developers’ overlays. If it’s not there, I look for an ebuild on bugzilla. If it’s not there, it probably doesn’t exist!

So the big problem with Gentoo is not that it’s boring and that the releases are so slow. The releases are a little slow and this last one was a tad boring. But the fact is simply that Gentoo is not a release-based distribution. When Gentoo “rolled out” Gnome 2.22 into the tree a few months ago, there was very little fanfare (outside of the community). Gentoo does news-worthy things all the time, but just not at the same time. It would be wise of Gentoo to figure out a way to make big roll-outs a little more flashy. Maybe a redesigned homepage with a prominent list of current popular packages in the tree?

• So, here I am back with Gentoo, and ready to do what I can do to help the distro. More later on my efforts!

I tried to install FreeBSD 8-CURRENT yesterday from this month’s snapshot. No good. Actually I did get ZFS up and running painlessly, and WOW… very cool stuff! But I had a heck of a time trying to get anything from the CD onto my computer. Finally I got a base system installed, but attempting to install really basic ports crashed and burned on me.

For example, first thing I did was install zsh, the Z shell, so I would be comfortable with my shell. Next I tried to install vim, my text editor of choice. FreeBSD already has vi installed, but it’s a little bit different and I wanted vim. I went into the vim directory under the ports tree and typed make install clean. The first time, it looked through about 200 files that it couldn’t find on the ftp server. The second time it just said there was no install file.

Then I tried to get wireless working, but when I went to get the package iwi-firmware, it said something like,

This program uses iwicontrol, which you don't need. Please type make rmconfig to remove it.

Which I did. It said, “No OPTIONS set.” or something. Then I did make config. And manually unchecked iwicontrol (even though I wanted it!) but it kept spitting out the same error message every time. OK, so that was no go.

So I figured I would just do the whole install at work plugged into the LAN. No! Even though I had my computer downloading files, etc on the proxy at work in Linux, I could not get it to work in FreeBSD. I read manpages for about 4 hours. Everything was set perfectly. Dhclient gave me an IP address and resolved domain names (i.e. yahoo.com – 78.243.134… blahblah). But the damn network would not return a ping.

Oh well! So, I guess I really AM waiting until summer vacation to work on FreeBSD. In the meanwhile, I just downloaded OpenSuse 10, which I’ll have installed in about 30 minutes, and that’ll hold me over for a few weeks.

Arg!

When I went to boot from the Freesbie LiveCD, I forgot to choose CD as a temporary startup device and linux started to boot. Well I didn’t want to wait for it to load, login, and then restart again, so I quickly popped the power button. It was just as the system was starting and only one partition had been mounted. But lo and behold, after I was through playing with FreeBSD, I rebooted into linux to find all my jfs partition tables scrambled. Normally, not a big deal for me. Just log in as my normal user, su into root, and run a simple little bash loop on all the partitions using jfs:

vault ~ # for i in /dev/sda8 /dev/sda9 /dev/sda10 /dev/sda11; do fsck.jfs $i; done

There was only one problem this time. I had been playing with the Z shell for the last few days and had just switched my normal user and root over to use it as default instead of bash. Well! Turns out zsh needs a certain .so file that is kept in the /usr partition. Not very smart, if you ask me. I feel like the shell, of all things, should be as self contained as possible. Anyway, needless to say, my new default shell barfed on me after it couldn’t find the files it needed, and I was stranded. Yeah yeah, I could have maybe used Freesbie and done a chroot, but… what a pain. Finally my girlfriend came home and I had her sign in under her account name, which I had not switched the shell on. Then su - and did my little magic. But still! What a royal pain that was.

So here I am. I just backed up all my stuff, and wiped the hard drive clean ;-)

I’m going to be trying ZFS as my file system following this tutorial. More news and HOWTOs later.

Disclaimer: I’ve been using the same install since 2006, so some of the things in my config files might be outdated or unnecessary. These files are provided for your and my reference only.

I’m not going to list every little step and how to do it, because if I did it, the instructions are already available somewhere. Most valuable resource award goes to:

Kernel 2.6.24 .config

To find out if your kernel .config already has the option set or not, do (for example):

dja@vault ~ % cat /usr/src/linux/.config |grep ATA_PIIX
CONFIG_ATA_PIIX=y

This is the correct driver for the T43′s hard drive, so I can see we’re good to go.

make.conf

Disclaimer: Be very careful using my make.conf file! Only take what you really want. I have a lot of strange things set in my make file, for example I have chosen to run an “x86″ stable system. You may prefer “~x86″ unstable for more bleeding-edge packages. I have Japanese set as a default language on my system, and a lot of my USE flags are very specific for pieces of hardware I own, etc. Know what each USE flag does before you set it globally in make.conf! I used to see some people complain about the “hardened“ flag breaking packages, but I have had it set for over a year and rarely if ever have had a problem. Generally if a package fails to build with “hardened“, the package maintainer disables it manually, so if you’re interested in a more secure system, I do recommend this flag. Finally, I have my Portage TMPDIR in a non-standard place. Be careful! However, CHOST, CFLAGS and VIDEO_CARDS are set to safe options for the T43.

# Build-time functionality
# ========================
#
# The USE variable is used to enable optional build-time functionality. For
# example, quite a few packages have optional X, gtk or GNOME functionality
# that can only be enabled or disabled at compile-time. Gentoo Linux has a
# very extensive set of USE variables described in our USE variable HOWTO at
# http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=2&chap=1
#
# The available list of use flags with descriptions is in your portage tree.
# Use 'less' to view them:  --> less /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc <--
#
# 'ufed' is an ncurses/dialog interface available in portage to make handling
# useflags for you. 'emerge app-portage/ufed'

# Supported Languages
LINGUAS="en_US ja"

# Host Setting
# ============
#
# DO NOT CHANGE THIS SETTING UNLESS YOU ARE USING STAGE1!
# Change this line as appropriate (i686, i586, i486 or i386).
# All modern systems (even Athlons) should use "i686-pc-linux-gnu".
# All K6's are i586.
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"

# Host and optimization settings
# ==============================
#
# For optimal performance, enable a CFLAGS setting appropriate for your CPU.
#
# Please note that if you experience strange issues with a package, it may be
# due to gcc's optimizations interacting in a strange way. Please test the
# package (and in some cases the libraries it uses) at default optimizations
# before reporting errors to developers.
#
# -mcpu=<cpu-type> means optimize code for the particular type of CPU without
# breaking compatibility with other CPUs.
#
# -march=<cpu-type> means to take full advantage of the ABI and instructions
# for the particular CPU; this will break compatibility with older CPUs (for
# example, -march=athlon-xp code will not run on a regular Athlon, and
# -march=i686 code will not run on a Pentium Classic.
#
# CPU types supported in gcc-3.2 and higher: athlon-xp, athlon-mp,
# athlon-tbird, athlon, k6, k6-2, k6-3, i386, i486, i586 (Pentium), i686
# (PentiumPro), pentium, pentium-mmx, pentiumpro, pentium2 (Celeron),
# pentium3, and pentium4.
#
# Note that Gentoo Linux 1.4 and higher include at least gcc-3.2.
#
# CPU types supported in gcc-2.95*: k6, i386, i486, i586 (Pentium), i686
# (Pentium Pro), pentium, pentiumpro Gentoo Linux 1.2 and below use gcc-2.95*
#
# CRITICAL WARNINGS: ****************************************************** #
# K6 markings are deceptive. Avoid setting -march for them. See Bug #24379. #
# Pentium-M CPU's should not enable sse2 until at least gcc-3.4. Bug 50616. #
# ************************************************************************* #
#
# Decent examples:
#
#CFLAGS="-mcpu=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe"
CFLAGS="-march=pentium-m -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"

# If you set a CFLAGS above, then this line will set your default C++ flags to
# the same settings.
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

# Advanced Masking
# ================
#
# Gentoo is using a new masking system to allow for easier stability testing
# on packages. KEYWORDS are used in ebuilds to mask and unmask packages based
# on the platform they are set for. A special form has been added that
# indicates packages and revisions that are expected to work, but have not yet
# been approved for the stable set. '~arch' is a superset of 'arch' which
# includes the unstable, in testing, packages. Users of the 'x86' architecture
# would add '~x86' to ACCEPT_KEYWORDS to enable unstable/testing packages.
# '~ppc', '~sparc' are the unstable KEYWORDS for their respective platforms.
#
# Please note that this is not for development, alpha, beta, nor cvs release
# packages. "Broken" packages will not be added to testing and should not be
# requested to be added. Alternative routes are available to developers
# for experimental packages, and it is at their discretion to use them.
#
# DO NOT PUT ANYTHING BUT YOUR SPECIFIC ~ARCHITECTURE IN THE LIST.
# IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF YOUR ARCH, OR THE IMPLICATIONS, DO NOT MODIFY THIS.
#
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86"

# Portage Directories
# ===================
#
# Each of these settings controls an aspect of portage's storage and file
# system usage. If you change any of these, be sure it is available when
# you try to use portage. *** DO NOT INCLUDE A TRAILING "/" ***
#
# PORTAGE_TMPDIR is the location portage will use for compilations and
#     temporary storage of data. This can get VERY large depending upon
#     the application being installed.
PORTAGE_TMPDIR=/opt/var/tmp
#
# PORTDIR is the location of the portage tree. This is the repository
#     for all profile information as well as all ebuilds. If you change
#     this, you must update your /etc/make.profile symlink accordingly.
PORTDIR=/usr/portage
#
# DISTDIR is where all of the source code tarballs will be placed for
#     emerges. The source code is maintained here unless you delete
#     it. The entire repository of tarballs for gentoo is 9G. This is
#     considerably more than any user will ever download. 2-3G is
#     a large DISTDIR.
DISTDIR=${PORTDIR}/distfiles
#
# PKGDIR is the location of binary packages that you can have created
#     with '--buildpkg' or '-b' while emerging a package. This can get
#     upto several hundred megs, or even a few gigs.
#PKGDIR=${PORTDIR}/packages
#
# PORT_LOGDIR is the location where portage will store all the logs it
#     creates from each individual merge. They are stored as NNNN-$PF.log
#     in the directory specified. This is disabled until you enable it by
#     providing a directory. Permissions will be modified as needed IF the
#     directory exists, otherwise logging will be disabled. NNNN is the
#     increment at the time the log is created. Logs are thus sequential.
#PORT_LOGDIR=/var/log/portage
#
# PORTDIR_OVERLAY is a directory where local ebuilds may be stored without
#     concern that they will be deleted by rsync updates. Default is not
#     defined.
PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/local/portage

# Fetching files
# ==============
#
# If you need to set a proxy for wget or lukemftp, add the appropriate "export
# ftp_proxy=<proxy>" and "export http_proxy=<proxy>" lines to /etc/profile if
# all users on your system should use them.
#
# Portage uses wget by default. Here are some settings for some alternate
# downloaders -- note that you need to merge these programs first before they
# will be available.
#
# Default fetch command (5 tries, passive ftp for firewall compatibility)
#FETCHCOMMAND="/usr/bin/wget -t 5 -T 60 --passive-ftp \${URI} -P \${DISTDIR}"
#RESUMECOMMAND="/usr/bin/wget -c -t 5 -T 60 --passive-ftp \${URI} -P \${DISTDIR}"
#
# Using wget, ratelimiting downloads
#FETCHCOMMAND="/usr/bin/wget -t 5 -T 60 --passive-ftp --limit-rate=200k \${URI} -P \${DISTDIR}"
#RESUMECOMMAND="/usr/bin/wget -c -t 5 -T 60 --passive-ftp --limit-rate=200k \${URI} -P \${DISTDIR}"
#
# Lukemftp (BSD ftp):
#FETCHCOMMAND="/usr/bin/lukemftp -s -a -o \${DISTDIR}/\${FILE} \${URI}"
#RESUMECOMMAND="/usr/bin/lukemftp -s -a -R -o \${DISTDIR}/\${FILE} \${URI}"
#
# Portage uses GENTOO_MIRRORS to specify mirrors to use for source retrieval.
# The list is a space separated list which is read left to right. If you use
# another mirror we highly recommend leaving the default mirror at the end of
# the list so that portage will fall back to it if the files cannot be found
# on your specified mirror. We _HIGHLY_ recommend that you change this setting
# to a nearby mirror by merging and using the 'mirrorselect' tool.
GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.gg3.net http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo"
#
# Portage uses PORTAGE_BINHOST to specify mirrors for prebuilt-binary packages.
# The list is a single entry specifying the full address of the directory
# serving the tbz2's for your system. Running emerge with either '--getbinpkg'
# or '--getbinpkgonly' will cause portage to retrieve the metadata from all
# packages in the directory specified, and use that data to determine what will
# be downloaded and merged. '-g' or '-gK' are the recommend parameters. Please
# consult the man pages and 'emerge --help' for more information. For FTP, the
# default connection is passive -- If you require an active connection, affix
# an asterisk (*) to the end of the host:port string before the path.
#PORTAGE_BINHOST="http://grp.mirror.site/gentoo/grp/1.4/i686/athlon-xp/"
# This ftp connection is passive ftp.
#PORTAGE_BINHOST="ftp://login:pass@grp.mirror.site/pub/grp/i686/athlon-xp/"
# This ftp connection is active ftp.
#PORTAGE_BINHOST="ftp://login:pass@grp.mirror.site:21*/pub/grp/i686/athlon-xp/"

# Synchronizing Portage
# =====================
#
# Each of these settings affects how Gentoo synchronizes your Portage tree.
# Synchronization is handled by rsync and these settings allow some control
# over how it is done.
#
#
# SYNC is the server used by rsync to retrieve a localized rsync mirror
#     rotation. This allows you to select servers that are geographically
#     close to you, yet still distribute the load over a number of servers.
#     Please do not single out specific rsync mirrors. Doing so places undue
#     stress on particular mirrors.  Instead you may use one of the following
#     continent specific rotations:

# PORTAGE_RSYNC_RETRIES sets the number of times portage will attempt to retrieve

#     for a more successful retrieval without user intervention most times.
PORTAGE_RSYNC_RETRIES="3"
#
# PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS can be used to feed additional options to the rsync
#     command used by `emerge --sync`. This will not change the default options
#     which are set by PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS (don't change those unless you know
#     exactly what you're doing).

#
# Advanced Features
# =================
#
# EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS allows emerge to act as if certain options are
#     specified on every run. Useful options include --ask, --verbose,
#     --usepkg and many others. Options that are not useful, such as --help,
#     are not filtered.
#EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS=""
#
# MAKEOPTS provides extra options that may be passed to 'make' when a
#     program is compiled. Presently the only use is for specifying
#     the number of parallel makes (-j) to perform. The suggested number
#     for parallel makes is CPUs+1.
MAKEOPTS="-j2"
#
# PORTAGE_NICENESS provides a default increment to emerge's niceness level.
#     Note: This is an increment. Running emerge in a niced environment will
#     reduce it further. Default is unset.
PORTAGE_NICENESS=10
#
# AUTOCLEAN enables portage to automatically clean out older or overlapping
#     packages from the system after every successful merge. This is the
#     same as running 'emerge -c' after every merge. Set with: "yes" or "no".
#     This does not affect the unpacked source. See 'noclean' below.
#
#     Warning: AUTOCLEAN="no" can cause serious problems due to overlapping
#              packages.  Do not use it unless absolutely necessary!
AUTOCLEAN="yes"
#
# PORTAGE_TMPFS is a location where portage may create temporary files.
#     If specified, portage will use this directory whenever possible
#     for all rapid operations such as lockfiles and transient data.
#     It is _highly_ recommended that this be a tmpfs or ramdisk. Do not
#     set this to anything that does not give a significant performance
#     enhancement and proper FS compliance for locks and read/write.
#     /dev/shm is a glibc mandated tmpfs, and should be a reasonable
#     setting for all linux kernel+glibc based systems.
PORTAGE_TMPFS="/dev/shm"
#
# FEATURES are settings that affect the functionality of portage. Most of
#     these settings are for developer use, but some are available to non-
#     developers as well.
#
#  'assume-digests'
#                when commiting work to cvs with repoman(1), assume that all
#                existing SRC_URI digests are correct.  This feature also
#                affects digest generation via ebuild(1) and emerge(1) (emerge
#                generates digests only when the 'digest' feature is enabled).
#  'autoaddcvs'  causes portage to automatically try to add files to cvs
#                that will have to be added later. Done at generation times
#                and only has an effect when 'cvs' is also set.
#  'buildpkg'    causes binary packages to be created of all packages that
#                are being merged.
#  'ccache'      enables ccache support via CC.
#  'confcache'   enable confcache support; speeds up autotool based configure
#                calls
#  'collision-protect'
#                prevents packages from overwriting files that are owned by
#                another package or by no package at all.
#  'cvs'         causes portage to enable all cvs features (commits, adds),
#                and to apply all USE flags in SRC_URI for digests -- for
#                developers only.
#  'digest'      autogenerate digests for packages when running the emerge(1)
#                command.  If the 'assume-digests' feature is also enabled then
#                existing SRC_URI digests will be reused whenever they are
#                available.
#  'distcc'      enables distcc support via CC.
#  'distlocks'   enables distfiles locking using fcntl or hardlinks. This
#                is enabled by default. Tools exist to help clean the locks
#                after crashes: /usr/lib/portage/bin/clean_locks.
#  'fixpackages' allows portage to fix binary packages that are stored in
#                PKGDIR. This can consume a lot of time. 'fixpackages' is
#                also a script that can be run at any given time to force
#                the same actions.
#  'gpg'         enables basic verification of Manifest files using gpg.
#                This features is UNDER DEVELOPMENT and reacts to features
#                of strict and severe. Heavy use of gpg sigs is coming.
#  'keeptemp'    prevents the clean phase from deleting the temp files ($T)
#                from a merge.
#  'keepwork'    prevents the clean phase from deleting the WORKDIR.
#  'test'        causes ebuilds to perform testing phases if they are capable
#                of it. Some packages support this automaticaly via makefiles.
#  'metadata-transfer'
#                automatically perform a metadata transfer when `emerge --sync`
#                is run.
#  'noauto'      causes ebuild to perform only the action requested and
#                not any other required actions like clean or unpack -- for
#                debugging purposes only.
#  'noclean'     prevents portage from removing the source and temporary files
#                after a merge -- for debugging purposes only.
#  'nostrip'     prevents the stripping of binaries.
#  'notitles'    disables xterm titlebar updates (which contain status info).
#  'parallel-fetch'
#                do fetching in parallel to compilation
#  'sandbox'     enables sandboxing when running emerge and ebuild.
#  'strict'      causes portage to react strongly to conditions that are
#                potentially dangerous, like missing/incorrect Manifest files.
#  'userfetch'   when portage is run as root, drop privileges to
#                portage:portage during the fetching of package sources.
#  'userpriv'    allows portage to drop root privileges while it is compiling,
#                as a security measure.  As a side effect this can remove
#                sandbox access violations for users.
#  'usersandbox' enables sandboxing while portage is running under userpriv.
#FEATURES="sandbox buildpkg ccache distcc userpriv usersandbox notitles noclean noauto cvs keeptemp keepwork autoaddcvs"
#FEATURES="sandbox ccache distcc distlocks autoaddcvs"
#
# CCACHE_SIZE sets the space use limitations for ccache. The default size is
#     2G, and will be set if not defined otherwise and ccache is in features.
#     Portage will set the default ccache dir if it is not present in the
#     user's environment, for userpriv it sets: ${PORTAGE_TMPDIR}/ccache
#     (/var/tmp/ccache), and for regular use the default is /root/.ccache.
#     Sizes are specified with 'G' 'M' or 'K'.
#     '2G' for 2 gigabytes, '2048M' for 2048 megabytes (same as 2G).
#CCACHE_SIZE="512M"
#
# DISTCC_DIR sets the temporary space used by distcc.
#DISTCC_DIR="${PORTAGE_TMPDIR}/.distcc"

# logging related variables:
# PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES: selects messages to be logged, possible values are:
#                          info, warn, error, log
#                       Warning: commenting this will disable elog
PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES="warn error log"

# PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM: selects the module(s) to process the log messages. Modules
#                      included in portage are (empty means logging is disabled):
#                          save (saves one log per package in $PORT_LOGDIR/elog,
#                                /var/log/portage/elog if $PORT_LOGDIR is unset)
#                          custom (passes all messages to $PORTAGE_ELOG_COMMAND)
#                          syslog (sends all messages to syslog)
#                          mail (send all messages to the mailserver defined
#                                in $PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI)
#                      To use elog you should enable at least one module
#PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="save mail"

# PORTAGE_ELOG_COMMAND: only used with the "custom" logging module. Specifies a command
#                      to process log messages. Two variables are expanded:
#                          ${PACKAGE} - expands to the cpv entry of the processed
#                                       package (see $PVR in ebuild(5))
#                          ${LOGFILE} - absolute path to the logfile
#						Both variables have to be quoted with single quotes
#PORTAGE_ELOG_COMMAND="/path/to/logprocessor -p '\${PACKAGE}' -f '\${LOGFILE}'"

# PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI: this variable holds all important settings for the mail
#                       module. In most cases listing the recipient address and
#                       the receiving mailserver should be sufficient, but you can
#                       also use advanced settings like authentication or TLS. The
#                       full syntax is:
#                           address [[user:passwd@]mailserver[:port]]
#                       where
#                           address:    recipient address
#                           user:       username for smtp auth (defaults to none)
#                           passwd:     password for smtp auth (defaults to none)
#                           mailserver: smtp server that should be used to deliver the mail (defaults to localhost)
#                           port:       port to use on the given smtp server (defaults to 25, values > 100000 indicate that starttls should be used on (port-100000))
#                       Examples:
#PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI="root@localhost localhost" (this is also the default setting)
#PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI="user@some.domain mail.some.domain" (sends mails to user@some.domain using the mailserver mail.some.domain)
#PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILURI="user@some.domain user:secret@mail.some.domain:100465" (this is left uncommented as a reader excercise ;)

# PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILFROM: you can set the from-address of logmails with this variable,
#                        if unset mails are sent by "portage" (this default may fail
#                        in some environments).
#PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILFROM="portage@some.domain"

# PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILSUBJECT: template string to be used as subject for logmails. The following
#                           variables are exanded:
#                               ${PACKAGE} - see description of PORTAGE_ELOG_COMMAND
#                               ${HOST} - FQDN of the host portage is running on
#PORTAGE_ELOG_MAILSUBJECT="package \${PACKAGE} merged on \${HOST} with notice"

output of df -h and cat fstab

Another huge warning for this. I have some funky stuff going on here, including some things that I would change the next time around. For example, I tried something funky this time where I gave my user account read/write access to /opt and used that as my general storage partition. The only problem is most programs default to save and search for things in your home directory, so I flooded /home more than once. I also definitely would not use jfs as my main filesystem next time around. Performance was good, but if I powered done improperly, my jfs partition table got all scrambled (or something!) and I’d have to fsck.jfs all my jfs partitions and reboot. Generally, next time I would make /usr about 3~5GBs bigger, stick with ext3 or try ext4 for my main file system, and leave /home as my main storage directory instead of the funky /opt thing. All other sizes and settings were fine.

Display configuration xorg.conf

Over the last couple years I have successfully used both the fglrx binary driver and the radeon open-source driver. I had fine performance with both, and in the end I decided on the radeon driver as it seems to be more stable and there is active work going on to better support the X300 with it. It’s fine for running compiz-fusion, etc.

HOWTO Fingerprint Reader

This is easy. First make sure you’re using the newest version of the package if you’re not already running an unstable (~x86) system. Note: Some people have package.keywords as a single file, but it can be a directory, too. Any file inside the directory is treated as if it were in the package.keywords file. This is incredibly useful for when you need to unmask a huge list of packages for testing something. I highly suggest doing it this way. You can name my.keywords anything you want.

vault ~ # echo "sys-auth/thinkfinger" >>/etc/portage/package.keywords/my.keywords

Next, let’s install:

vault ~ # emerge --ask thinkfinger

Then let’s test if the fingerprint reader is working:

vault ~ # tf-tool --acquire

ThinkFinger 0.3 (http://thinkfinger.sourceforge.net/)
Copyright (C) 2006, 2007 Timo Hoenig <thoenig@suse.de>

Initializing... done.
Please swipe your finger (successful swipes 3/3, failed swipes: 0)... done.
Storing data (/tmp/test.bir)... done.

Swipe your desired finger 3 times. This will save a test file at /tmp/test.bir. Now let’s check if it recognizes our finger correctly. Type the following and swipe the same finger as before:

vault ~ # tf-tool --verify

ThinkFinger 0.3 (http://thinkfinger.sourceforge.net/)
Copyright (C) 2006, 2007 Timo Hoenig <thoenig@suse.de>

Initializing... done.
Please swipe your finger (successful swipes 1/1, failed swipes: 0)... done.
Result: Fingerprint does match.

If that went smoothly, let’s add our user and root fingerprints.

Note: For people that need super high security, you should assume fingerprints are about as good as a weak password. Fingerprint readers can be duped if you know how. Here’s a video of a smart kid in Germany tricking a fingerprint reader. But honestly, if someone that good gets their hands on your laptop, they will know much easier ways to get in. :-) The only instance where the fingerprint reader would be the weakest part of your security (that I can imagine) is if your hard drive were encrypted. In that case, you may not want to enter a fingerprint for your root account. Or use your toe-print. :-)

vault ~ # tf-tool --add-user "login name"

And veryify:

vault ~ # tf-tool --verify-user "login name"

If that was successful, there’s only one more thing to do. Let’s open the /etc/pam.d/system-auth file with your favorite text editor. The file should look like this:

#%PAM-1.0

auth       sufficient   pam_thinkfinger.so
auth       required     pam_env.so
auth       sufficient   pam_unix.so likeauth nullok
auth       required     pam_deny.so

account    required     pam_unix.so

password   required     pam_cracklib.so difok=2 minlen=8 dcredit=2 ocredit=2 retry=3
password   sufficient   pam_unix.so nullok_secure md5 shadow use_authtok try_first_pass
password   required	pam_deny.so

session    required	pam_limits.so
session    required	pam_unix.so

There are a few more fun things you can do, including getting it to work with gnome-screensaver, etc. Good instructions for that and other tricks are available here.

Gandhi said, “First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win.” One of my favorite quotes, and certainly accurate in describing the software world’s actions against OSS (Open Source Software). But how to describe the other way around: OSS users feelings toward proprietary software makers? We need to rearrange that quote a little. “First you fight it, then you ridicule it, then you ignore it, then you win.”

There comes a day in every future OSS user’s life when they realize they’re ready to strike out away from home. Like a rebellious teenager, all the flaws of their heretofore omnipresent overlords become painfully clear. How did I put up with this shit for so long? they think. And they fight. And it’s hard. Many battles are lost, and many lose the war during this stage. But a few overcome, and come to consider themselves “linux users” or “BSD users.”

Then you ridicule. Like the teenager who managed to escape into his own apartment, everything seems rosy. Silly Billy, they think, still living at home like a loser. Bowing to the system. So oppressed! If only he knew about the freedom out here! And so he precedes to educate Billy. And everyone else who will listen. And many who don’t want to. “Come on, you fools, you have been a sheep for too long!”

Then, after a few years, you ignore. Because really, you have talked a few friends or family members into following your lead, and maybe it didn’t really work out for them. In the case of OSS, the last straw probably went something like, “Umm, where’s the shutdown button?” “Well, there isn’t one, you see giving files SUID … I mean, anyways all you have to do is pop open the terminal, password, and type shu…” “Give me Windows back. Now.” And really, after a few years, it gets old comparing Linux and Windows. It’s not easy to tell your friend why they can’t just download AIM and install it as usual, even if you think Linux does it better. It becomes, OK, I have my system, you have yours, but mine is still better.

And then you win. And I believe I just hit that yesterday, which I’m incredibly happy about. It happened when I was reading an article about Bill Gates retiring, and him talking about the history of Microsoft. And as I was reading the article, I realized I was smiling. No “this guy spread his sub-par filth to every corner of the world at the expense of better and more open systems”. No “this guy became the richest guy in the world by heartlessly crushing his competition”. Just smiling, and thinking, enjoy your retirement, Bill! And it surprised me a bit! How can this be? Am I growing soft?

No. I just don’t feel threatened by Microsoft anymore. OSS, which I still believe holds the moral and technical high-ground, is not going away. Microsoft can not buy us out. Microsoft can not backroom-deal us into oblivion. They have tried. They are failing. Microsoft admits that they feel threatened by OSS. But I can’t say the same about Microsoft anymore.

People have called Linux’s licence a “viral” licence because it has a nasty way of reproducing itself. A virus can mutate. A virus is an incredibly robust organism. But a virus doesn’t benifit from killing off its host. Or homogeneousness. OSS hasn’t saturated the market. That’s good. It is here for those who want it.

Microsoft and others will continue to fight, but we have already won. And I’m glad that Microsoft is here, too, and even benefiting from the many advancements pioneered in open source.

Enjoy your retirement, Bill!

In my first post, I’ll lay out some personal reasons for the switch, along with a basic stragety to accomplish it.

Why now?

In general, up until now, I haven’t minded reinventing the wheel with my computer. First, it’s fun, and second, it helps me to remember instead of just copying and pasting.

I first tried linux in 2000 with Mandrake 7.0 or so. All I managed to do with that was erase my sister’s music files, along with everything else on the family’s computer, for that matter. Actually I did that twice. I gave up with Mandrake 7 after I got some anonymous death threats…

I started seriously using linux the second I got my own laptop in 2002. It wasn’t until a few years later, in 2004 that I had enough knowledge and patience to get rid of Windows for good. I have used only linux ever since. I started in 2004 with a distribution called Gentoo, and except for about a year with Debian/Ubuntu, and a few weeks with almost every other major player, I have stuck with it.

Why so serious this time?

I have frivolously tried a lot of distros before so I’m not at all afraid to just dive in to FreeBSD, but this time is a little different. I have become very comfortable running a stable distribution. I also work full time and need my computer to be available when I need it. Ahh, sometimes being a grown-up sucks. :-/

What’s Gentoo?

Ah, Gentoo…. I really like Gentoo. Gentoo is a so-called “meta distribution” because it really isn’t designed for one specific use. When one thinks of Gentoo, nothing visual comes to mind in the way that Suse or Ubuntu conjure a specific theme. Gentoo does have its reputation though. Gentoo is one of the favorite butts of linux users’ jokes. That’s because every single program must be compiled from its source code. Initial setup is stupidly complex and can take a few days to complete, and if I want to upgrade Firefox (from source) or another large application, I should start it now and come back in an hour or so and hope it’s done.

Of course, we Gentoo users aren’t really masochists. At least not as much as our image would warrant others to believe. You see, with all that silliness comes with a lot of power and responsibility. For example, Gentoo allows you to define what they call USE flags, which basically are compile time flags that tell a program what parts of that program you want, and what parts you don’t. Let me give you an example of the way USE flags make life easy for people who want extreme control over their system. Let’s take the case of vlc, a very popular cross-platform media player.

First, let’s look at vlc as it exists on my system right now. We’ll use the Gentoo program equery (.ebuild is the file extension for Gentoo systems, like .exe for Windows or .deb for Debian/Ubuntu).

As I mentioned, USE flags are basically shortcuts to compile-time flags build into the source of the program. That means that it is not impossible to do this same thing on Ubuntu or any other linux distribution. But as you can see above, USE flags make it very easy. If you apt-get vlc or install vlc on Windows, most of these options will be compiled in by default. But I have chosen exactly which features I intend to use and built the program to fit my needs. That’s another reason Gentoo is called a meta distribution: the entire system is built around exactly what you want. Notice for example that I have enabled the dvd flag because I intend to watch dvds on my computer, but I have not enabled the vcd flag, because I do not own or intend to watch video cds on my computer.

And it’s easy to experiment and make changes. For example, I have just recently updated to Firefox 3.0. Some programs link against firefox for web-browser support, etc. However at the end my upgrade, Firefox spit out the message:

All the packages built against mozilla-firefox won't compile,
if after installing firefox 3.0 you get some blockers,
please add 'xulrunner' to your USE-flags.

This is a good thing. Firefox’s “run-time environment” is very popular and used by most other Mozilla projects, as well as some other programs that need browser-like behavior. It’s a good thing to move them outside the program so that all the programs that need it can use that copy. From XULRunner’s Wikipedia entry:

Benefits and rationale

Benefits of having a separate shared run-time environment are the same as those with shared libraries. Benefits to developers and source-based systems – that is, systems on which programs are compiled from source as opposed to downloaded in binary form – are decreased compilation time, less bandwidth needs and less storage space needed.

So let’s assume I’ve done my research and decided to use XULRunner system-wide. Let me show you how Gentoo lets me do that:

vault ~ # euse --enable xulrunner
/etc/make.conf was modified, a backup copy has been placed at /etc/make.conf.euse_backup

In that one line, my system-wide configuration (make.conf) file was changed. Now let’s see what happens when I go to upgrade vlc:

vault ~ # emerge --ask vlc

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] media-video/vlc-0.8.6g  USE="xulrunner*"

Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No]

Now, vlc (as well as all other programs that can be) will be rebuild to link against xulrunner. Simple as that.

Why change?

After almost four years with Gentoo, I’m considering switching, and that’s the reason for this page: just to keep track of my own ideas and document how and if I can make the change successfully.

Of course this is just my opinion. But here are some things I am worried about with Gentoo:

• Lack of direction
  • I simply feel like there is a lack of direction in the distribution. I really think that it being a meta distribution with numerous uses is one thing that makes Gentoo so strong, but a lack of direction can cause stagnation. One cause of this lack of direction might be…
• Lack of leadership
  • A lot of distributions have a “benevolent leader” or a backing company like Ubuntu’s Canonical, Suse’s Novell, or Fedora’s Red Hat. Other distributions, like Debian, have a solid and understandable hierarchy. Gentoo’s leaders, decision making process, and structure are a mystery to me even after four years, which I think also points to…
• Lack of community involvement
  • I am incredibly interested in my distro of favor. I want to read about it all the time. I want to know the little decisions and changes. But I’m not sure there’s a good way to do that besides maybe getting myself on the developers’ mailing list, which is a little too technical for me. I am signed up for the monthly newsletter. I still feel like the important issues are not being discussed like adults in an open manner. Don’t get me wrong, the community is great. The way that developers involve the community is not.
• Portage/Paludis
  • Gentoo’s current package manager, Portage, is great, but outdated and quite slow. Paludis is a replacement package manager for Gentoo. But most Gentoo devs apparently don’t like Paludis, and frankly neither do I. The face that Paludis’s devs show the Gentoo public is elitest and less than cooperative, in my opinion. Also, it changes so much that doesn’t need to be changed, including all the names of the common commands that Gentoo users know and love. No emerge? No revdep-rebuild? Revdep-rebuild (the command to find and automatically rebuild packages broken by reverse dependencies) becomes reconcilio under Paludis. Sorry, but I feel like I should be wearing a top-hat and waving a wand while saying the magic words: Abra kadabra reconclio!! *POOF*! Gentoo without Portage is like Debian without apt, or maybe like Windows without a Start menu, for you non-linux users ;-) .

I don’t think I’m the only one who feels this way. I’m also certainly not the only one to have switched from Gentoo. But I’ve put a lot of time into Gentoo and it feels like home to me, so I won’t make a big switch unless I find something which is clearly better. I wish I had two laptops!

So what might a replacement look like?

Enter FreeBSD

FreeBSD is a unix-like free operating system. FreeBSD generally can run most of the things that linux can run, and they are very similar in a lot of ways. But there are some serious differences. I have never used a BSD-based system before so I cannot comment on those differences… yet!

Here are some reasons why I would consider wiping my super-configured Gentoo to try FreeBSD:

• Solid leadership: the way FreeBSD develops everything from the kernel on out as a whole system is quite unlike any linux distribution, as I understand it.
• Clear direction
• Knowledgabe community: this is a must for me, because Gentoo is well known for its top-notch user community, I would settle for nothing less.
• Mac OS X: modern Macs run FreeBSD as a backend. Knowing FreeBSD means knowing Macs better than most Mac users.
• Ports: Gentoo’s Portage, the program which builds programs from source, was originally modeled after FreeBSD’s Ports system. Apparently it’s excellent. As I understand it, Ports also gives you the opportunity to change compile-time flags like in Gentoo, but we’ll see if their system is as robust and useful as Gentoo’s USE flags.
• ZFS: Sun’s amazing new file system (also will be in next gen Macs)… not due out for linux for quite some time do to licencing issues as I understand it ZFS is available for linux if you use FUSE and run it in userspace, essentially running it on top of your real FS. True ZFS is already in FreeBSD-CURRENT.

And of course, there’s always my cool factor to think about! :-)

Plan of action

As I mentioned above, I am very, very comfortable with Gentoo. I don’t want to be silly and wipe everything and start new like I used to. I’m going to do the full backup, lots of research, and wait until I have time approach. How grown-up of me!

So, here’s the plan of action:

1. Keep doing research about Gentoo and FreeBSD. Try to answer unanswered questions about both OSs.
2. Start backing up config files and saving up config files I’ll need for the switch.
3. Download Freesbie liveCD and get some experience with BSD’s differences, especially how to compile a kernel, which I hear is quite different.
4. Do a full backup on my Gentoo system.
5. Burn FreeBSD’s CD and aim for install in early August (during summer vacation when I have lots of time to putter).

Good luck to me!!
