Hej Benny!

pentoo got made after many gentoo developpers want something core
diffrent

I took the liberty of downloading pentoo-full-amd64-hardened-2025.0_p20250913.iso, dd'ed it to a usb flash drive, and then booted it. It worked perfectly and unlike other live systems it came with gcc-14.3.0 and friends which makes it excellent for installing LFS to a nvme disk, which is what I have planned for later this week.

Offhand it looks like a keeper to me. Thanks for the heads up.

Het leven is goed,
Maurice

Hey Benny!

just remember have oldest longterm should work

Shouldn't be an issue. Is it?

it is for me since xfs kernels did break somehing that makes it impossible to recovery my old netgear raid 0 drive, 2 1TB drives as one 2Tb md0 device, i have lost host to make the raidtab file

i lost why, but pentoo developpers stopped as gentoo developpers

This is the first I've heard of it. According to google it is a live distribution for CDs and/or USB drives. They even claim 32-bit as
well as 64-bit versions. I'll probably have a looksee at it.

this was how i did start it as on my now possible 100% disputed quad pentium 2, it gives 1536 bogomips, pretty fast to compared to a rasberry pi that used less power then what ibm coldcabinet servers did :=)

it got more crasys when people added an pci raid controller with 45 scsi 2 disks, only holds 40Gb :=)

hope dovecot will be better in future or die

I've been having the same feeling about python except that I have
little to no faith given their track record. To me it looks like they are going out of their way to break everything, especially backwards compatibilty with themselves.

if this happen, gentoo & pentoo will die

Not an issue here but have lost old hardware support in the past, usually network chips. I never did get into raid even when I had suitable hardware in the past.

pretty fast to compared to a rasberry pi that used less power then
what ibm coldcabinet servers did :=)

I imagine so.

if this happen, gentoo & pentoo will die

Along with Debian and all it's bastard children.

I hate python and make no apologies for it.

i had software raid 5, on my hp dl 525 1 gen quad core & 8 penguins :)

also did promice 15200 with 4 raid 5 drives, sadly just sata 150 mbit, but it was stable

it connected via iscsi

raspberry pi just freezed the computer room, hehe

let debian die, i dont care :=)

why hate python ?, is it not stable like python 2.7 ?, catastrofe happen in python 3 imho :=)

Hej Benny!

The only HP server I had was a 486 NetServer with 2 pci slots, but only one would work at a time. I added a network card on pci instead of a storage device. It was a very nice machine in it's day. I forget what version of scsi the host chipset had. That was a long time ago.

raspberry pi just freezed the computer room, hehe

No surprise.

let debian die

Whatever. It definetly isn't me keeping it alive.

happen in python 3 imho :=)

They all suck but for sure python 3 sucks the most. Again, no apologies from me about this very sad state of affairs. If you're asking me I blame the people attempting to turn windows users over to linux to be the root cause of all cyber evilness.
