During this development, it was decided that it was a better fit if baselayout provided only the base files and filesystem layout for Gentoo, and the rc system was broken off into an independent project – OpenRC.

Irssi was written primarily to run on Unix-like operating systems, and binaries and packages are available for Gentoo Linux, Slackware, SUSE ( openSUSE ), Frugalware, Fedora, FreeBSD, Solaris, and Arch Linux.

For distributions based on. deb and. rpm files as well as Slackware Linux, there is CheckInstall, and for recipe-based systems such as Gentoo Linux and hybrid systems such as Arch Linux, it is possible to write a recipe first, which then ensures that the package fits into the local package database.

Gentoo Linux ( ) is a computer operating system built on top of the Linux kernel and based on the Portage package management system.

After problems with a bug on his own system, Robbins halted Gentoo Linux development and switched to FreeBSD for several months, later saying " I decided to add several FreeBSD features to make our autobuild system ( now called Portage ) a true next-generation ports system.

Although originally built on the x86 architecture, Gentoo has been ported to many others.

The Gentoo / FreeBSD project already has a working guide based on FreeSBIE, while Gentoo / NetBSD, Gentoo / OpenBSD and Gentoo / DragonFly are being developed.

Portage's main utility is emerge, which is written in Python and can be used by privileged users to inspect and alter the set of installed packages on a Gentoo operating system.

The most common way is to use the Gentoo minimal CD with a stage 3 tarball ( see below for more explanation on stages ).

Support for installation is provided on the Gentoo forum and on IRC.

As the Gentoo penguin waddles along on land, its tail sticks out behind, sweeping from side to side, hence the scientific name Pygoscelis, which means " rump-tailed ".

Portability toward other operating systems, such as BSD-derived ones including Mac OS X, is under active development by the Gentoo / Alt project.

* Linux distributions including Debian GNU / Linux, MontaVista Linux, openSUSE, Yellow Dog Linux, Gentoo Linux and Crux PPC are also available for the Pegasos.

Breeding species include Rockhopper, Magellanic and Gentoo penguins, King and Rock Cormorants, many small bird species and several birds of prey, including Striated and Southern Caracaras.

The coastal areas of the island are home to a comparatively diverse selection of vegetation and animal life, including Elephant, Weddell and Leopard seals, and Chinstrap and Gentoo penguins.

The Schulze method is used by several organizations including Wikimedia, Debian, Ubuntu, Gentoo, and Software in the Public Interest.

Various Linux and BSD distributions have also been ported to the FM Towns system, including Debian and Gentoo.

It is a significant breeding site for for a variety of seabirds and other waterbirds including Falkland Steamer Ducks, Ruddy-headed Geese, Gentoo Penguins ( 2800 pairs ), Southern Rockhopper Penguins ( 480 pairs ), Magellanic Penguins, Southern Giant-petrels ( 25 pairs ) and Sooty Shearwaters.

Over 30 species have been recorded, including Gentoo Penguins ( 750 breeding pairs ), Southern Rockhopper Penguins ( 60, 000 pairs ), Macaroni Penguins, Magellanic Penguins, Black-browed Albatrosses ( 100, 000 pairs ), Fairy Prions ( 10, 000 pairs ), Sooty Shearwaters, Wilson's Storm-petrels, Grey-backed Storm-petrels, Common Diving Petrels, Southern Giant Petrels.

In addition to the source code package and binary installers for GNU / Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows, ejabberd is also available in several Operating System distributions as is typical in FOSS, including Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, Ubuntu, Arch Linux, OpenSolaris, FreeBSD Ports, OpenBSD ports, NetBSD port and Mac OS X's Fink.

This is in addition to several hundred thousand other birds, including Gentoo Penguins, South Georgia Pintails and South Georgia Pipits.

There are binary versions available for most popular Linux distributions ( including Ubuntu, Gentoo, Debian, Fedora, Suse, Slackware, Arch Linux and Mandriva ).

The script is used by the emerge tool, also created by the Gentoo Linux project, to calculate any dependencies of the desired software installation, download the required files ( and patch them, if necessary ), configure the package ( based on " USE flag " settings ), compile, and perform a sandboxed installation ( in < tt >/ var / tmp / portage / name / image /</ tt > by default ).

Penguins for the most part breed in large colonies, the exceptions being the Yellow-eyed and Fiordland species ; these colonies may range in size from as few as a 100 pairs for Gentoo Penguins, to several hundred thousand in the case of King, Macaroni and Chinstrap Penguins.

Other distributions include support for it such as Debian as of the etch release, Ubuntu as of 8. 04 Hardy Heron, Hardened Gentoo, and Yellow Dog Linux.

In January 2005, members of Gentoo Linux's " crypto herd " announced their intention of providing support for TC — in particular support for the Trusted Platform Module.

Gentoo package management is designed to be modular, portable, easy to maintain, flexible, and optimized for the user's machine.

The Gentoo Council members are elected for a period of one year, each year by the active Gentoo developers.

Additionally, as Gentoo expanded to other platforms such as Gentoo / FreeBSD and Gentoo Embedded, requiring the relatively heavy Bash shell for the rc system became undesirable or sometimes impossible.

However, this no longer recommended officially by the Gentoo foundation, and is meant only for Gentoo developers.

Although this is widely regarded as a complex task, Gentoo provides documentation and tools such as Genkernel to simplify the process and make it straightforward for novice users.

Tarballs for stage1 and stage2 were distributed for some time after this, although the instructions for installing from these stages had been removed from the handbook and moved into the Gentoo FAQ.

* Secunia advisories for Gentoo

Once Gentoo is installed, it becomes effectively " versionless "; that is, once an emerge update is done, the system is at the latest version, with the most up-to-date packages available ( subject to restrictions that a user may have specified in their Portage configuration files ).
