[gentoo-user] Firewall recommendations

Hey again everyone, Still new when it comes to Gentoo and so I'm stuck when it comes to picking a firewall to use. I know that most (if not all) of them just use iptables to block/allow stuff but I like the simplicity of having it do it automatically. Anyway, I've been using APF on CentOS wh

[gentoo-user] Install Gentoo on one machine, then move the drive to another

Hey again everyone, Here is my situation: I have CentOS running on a system in a datacenter, but want to switch to Gentoo. Basically what I've started to do is installed Gentoo on a P4 3.0Ghz machine at home, and plan on moving it to a Pentium D 2.66Ghz. Now if I configure/compile/install al

[gentoo-user] sshd issues

Hey all, I've been using other distributions for a while (CentOS, Slackware, Red Hat, etc) and finally switching to Gentoo, however this oddness with SSH is getting to me. It seems when I SSH into my machine it uses "keyboard interative" mode, where as I'm used to every other distro using jus

Hi Isern, I actually have the exact same problem, and someone was kind enough to help me so I'll pass on the same info. Basically my problem was that I hadn't enabled the proper IDE Chipset (or SCSI if you use S-ATA) in the kernel. When I booted off my Gentoo install cd, I can 'lspci -v' whi

Hey everyone, I'm new to Gentoo, but not to Linux. For some reason I seem to be struggling to get it booted after installing. Basically my setup is I have 3 partitions as follows: /dev/hda1 (32MB EXT3) used as /boot. /dev/hda2 (512MB) for swap, and the rest is on /dev/hda3 (ReiserFS). The
