Re: [gentoo-user] systemd and gnome3

(replying to list as I assume this could interest and/or help other users as well) Peter, Canek, how did you approach syslogs? systemd brings its own journal (readable via systemd-journalctl, learned right now) and so it possible to run the box without syslog-ng or similar. archlinux-wiki tells

[gentoo-user] 'profile' USE-flag - what for?

Hello! Could somebody please explain me the role of "profile' USE-flag for a regular user's PC? "profile : Adds support for software performance analysis (will likely vary from ebuild to ebuild)" * Is if of any use in such case at all? * If it is, what does it provide for a regular user?

[gentoo-user] linux-headers-3.5 with 3.4 kernel?

Portage now installs sys-kernel/linux-headers-3.5. sys-kernel/gentoo-sources is at 3.4.5. Is it even adviced to do that, installing 3.5 headers and running a 3.4 kernel? This sounds like a bad idea to me.
