Others might not like the ‘do it yourself’ compiles and configuration that comes with it.ĭigging into config files doesn’t stop after installation, but is the standard way to get many things installed, configured and tweaked in Gentoo.

The process might be worth it for users that want a very lean, mean, customizable and upgradeable machine. Scribus is now completely cross-platform and runs natively on Linux/Unix, Mac OS X, OS/2 Warp 4, eComStation, and Windows. Also, remember that the Gentoo forums are GOLD!!! I would have never got my system going without the forums. Whether you are a newbie or pro, it is critical that you follow the install guide carefully from beginning to end. Scribus is an Open Source program that brings professional page layout to Linux/UNIX, Mac OS X, OS/2 Warp 4/eComStation and Windows desktops with a combination of press-ready output and new approaches to page design.

The documentation on installing Gentoo is some of the best I’ve ever seen for OSS, but it still has some flaws. If you hear Gentoo is ‘easy’ to install, that is frankly a very misleading statement. This way, you avoid spending days compiling.įor any others considering Gentoo, be prepared for a long and sometimes frustrating process. In addition, if you download or get the GRP version, it has binaries for the big apps such as Mozilla, KDE, Gnome and OpenOffice. Some people really optimize the crap out of their system with stage 1 installs and ‘USE’ flags and claim near instant OpenOffice and Mozilla startups. Second, I started at stage 3 which means I don’t have the super-optimized system that I could have with a stage 1 install. First it’s probably KDE 3.1, which is a little sluggish anyway compared to Gnome 2.x. However, there could be a couple of reasons. I think my RH8 with Gnome is a little bit quicker than my Gentoo KDE 3.1. You’ll find most Gentoo developers and users are against a GUI installer. It's even better with the Platform for easy installs and automatic updates. I’ve read some discussions about this on the Gentoo forums, basically you will not seea graphical installer on Gentoo anytime soon. Scribus Portable can run from a cloud folder, external drive, or local folder without installing into Windows.
