Hi! I know I don't post here much but I read it a lot and have been using
Gentoo for several years now. I keep seeing users mention about how they do
an update and then everything goes to crap. I've experienced this myself
quite a bit too. I believe the reason this happens is the drawback one
Yeah, the documentation is one of the many great things about Gentoo. I
just wish the software was a little more proactive in fixing update
problems.

As for switching, I might if better update management is truly considered

I just wanted to add something to the original post.
I've recently began experimenting with Debian and noticed their updating
system is exactly like what I was asking about. Basically, there's package
updates, and then there's distro updates. Why is it unreasonable for Gentoo
to have something
scripts instead of
editing each and every ebuild. Whatever the solution is if there is going
to be one at all should not be a complicated one, or it would defeat the
purpose altogether.

Hi everybody.
This is my first post to this list, mainly because the Gentoo community
is so awesome to have documentation for everything that I haven't needed
to use it before. I've finally seemed to have run into something that I
can't figure out and I can't find very good documentation for.
"1280x800_60" 81.5 1280 1344 1480 1680 800 801
804 828 -hsync +vsync
all the best,

Hey everybody!
I'm trying to find something that I can use to rip and then remake
DVDs. I have some japanese dvds that won't play on almost any regular
dvd players because of the stupid region thing. K3b didn't seem to have
anything for doing that, so I tried dvdrip/dvd::rip. Whenever I run
I'm having a problem with dvdrip. I emerged it and when I try to run it
it just says:
[filterlist] (re)scanning transcode's module path /usr/lib/transcode...
but it never actually does anything. That message will stay there for
indefinitely until I kill it. It doesn't give a gui or anything
is? Or, is there an alternative that
I can use to rip dvds and redo them to remove the stupid region codes?
Thanks for the help!
Mike

[user]I use and stay with Gentoo because it is the distro that I started with. I was used to windows before I used Gentoo, let alone linux. Once I got out of the windows way of thinking, then Gentoo and linux just kind of feel a bit natural. I've stayed with Gentoo because I haven't seen a good
