My Linux box uses a fairly sophisticated array of software on it. The first level is the distribution. I use gentoo linux, a distribution aimed at fairly experienced users. It has no graphical installation or configuration tools, and all of its software is compiled from source. Here's my stats as of this writing (7/9/2004):
| Software | Version |
|---|---|
| Kernel | 2.6.7-rc3-love2 |
| GLibc | 2.3.3.20040420 |
| gcc | 3.3.3-r6 |
| X11 | xorg-x11 6.7.0-r1 |
| Gnome | 2.6.1_rc1 |
| KDE | 3.3.0_beta1 |
| ROX-Filer | 2.1.2 |
| Mozilla | 1.6-r1 |
Hello everybody. It's Roguelazer, welcoming you to RogueBlog. This is the fourth incarnation of this blog, due to software upgrades, database failures, and general incompetence on my part. With any luck, this one will be successful, being based off of Nucleus Extreme Edition 3.0.
Anyhow, this will be a place for my thoughts and ideas. With any luck, it'll work out well. This is Roguelazer, over and out.
