Why exactly would you do this? Just because of saving time? If you do not clean kernel dir, it will compile very fast. On 11/08/2012 07:02 PM, Bruce Hill wrote: > On Thu, Nov 08, 2012 at 06:55:31PM +0100, "ifj. Stefán István" > wrote: >> Hello! >> >> I have a quite good kernel, but today I realise

you should try terminator, or guake if you want an "alternate" terminal. i am using both in combination (guake in luman-overlay, has applied some additional patches) lxde/openbox is very nice. slim and slimlock are working fine in combination with it. so there is no need for heavy gnome/kde deskto

Cinnamon is very great. Also nemo, the nautilus fork of 3.4, because nautilus 3.6 is a very big regression in manys opinion (mine too). Ive had soo many problem with gnome 3 (mainly performance), so i switchesd to lxde. It felt like replacing an intel pentium 4 with a core i7 now i am using

Hi, I always prefer to NOT install software this way into my gentoo. Instead of this I first check http://gpo.zugaina.org/ if there is already an ebuild or outdated ebuild for this piece of software. If not I begin to develop my own ebuild. In this case there is already one (sabayon-overlay). Howe
