is there a reason another should be started?
Ermmm... sorry?
You can always use distcc to compile on a remote machine and then install the compiled files on the Pandora. Gentoo has always been about fine control of what's installed, and nothing else comes close to it's ability to fine-tune an install (except maybe compiling everything by hand, which is just ridiculous).Tor said:I'm scratching my head as to why anyone would want to run gentoo on the device.. after all, the major point of gentoo is that you download the source and build the application on the target itself. That's not something I personally would want to do for every application on my Pandora (or any handheld device).
EDIT: And yes, Yellow Dog Linux is for PPC... we're ARM, so that one should be removed from the poll, unless some of the more unstable members wants to use the Pandora as a PPC emulator..
As already mentioned, repeatedly, Gentoo easily (without any more configuration then an added line to make.conf) allows for pre-compiled binaries. The result wouldn't be much different then apt-get.Tor said:I'm scratching my head as to why anyone would want to run gentoo on the device.. after all, the major point of gentoo is that you download the source and build the application on the target itself.
