So my new project as of lately is skimpydog-gentoo.

This is Gentoo, 32bit - built how I like it.

I am updating the tar.bz2 as often as I can - but not too often as my goal is stability on an Intel ChipSet without using proprietary drivers.

Built for an Intel based architecture, this is fully bloated with:

#gentoo-sources-2.6.31-r6
#xorg-server-1.6.3.901-r2
#mesa-7.5.1
#Gnome-2.26.3 built with hal support
#Compiz-Fusion-0.8.4
#cairo-dock-1.5.4.2
#enlightenment-0.16.8.15
#supertux
#superkart
#extreme-tuxracer
#python-2.5.4-r3
#mythtv-0.22_p22860
#gphoto2
#dialup support

With Intel Based Video, this should work right out of the box with Hardware Video acceleration with i810-i915 Video ChipSets.



If you intend to attempt to install this, first you must be a member in order to download.

If "I", feel you are a bot, you will be denied access.

Here's the shakedown:
skimpydog-gentoo

So far this has been tested on 6 different machines, and all with Intel based Video, and other.


Noted bugs:

I have not had any issues excluding how hardware is added to the system.

Since there are different ID's with every machines NIC (MAC Address), I assume it continues to count upward - such as eth0, eth1, eth2, eth3, eth4 - keep trying the interfaces until you get the right one.

This can be the same with CDROMS, and other hardware.

So be sure to look in /dev for how the kernel is loading devices to verify how the device is being bound.
