    Emerge, Sync

    I’m not a patient person. I belong to that class of people who irrationally believe that if something ain’t instant, there’s something wrong with it, even if it’s really a slow processor you have (450Mhz iMac).

    If you’re like that too, do yourself a favour, and never be possessed with the idea of installing Gentoo Linux, even if it’s a Stage 3 install, you wimp. But we all want we can’t have, right? And why must Portage be so damned cool?

    emerge –sync.

    You’re a sadist, I admire you for trying out Gentoo though. However, I reckon you would be better off trying Debian or Ubuntu on that machine. Recently the Linux User Group gave away 50 233MHz iMacs with Debian pre-loaded: http://www.lugs.org.sg/news/powerpc_giveaway and the setup was pretty neat. There are probably some Ubuntu for PPC CDs kicking around, if you’re interested (drop me a mail).
