Go Team Venture!

[graafen]

I spent a good portion of last night playing around with Gentoo, almost an hour of which was spent trying to figure out why the console framebuffer wasn't working right. In the end I just removed nvidiafb (framebuffer for nVidia cards) from the kernel and used vesafb (generic framebuffer) instead, which worked fine.

Tonight I plan to at least get X, ALSA and WINE installed. I'll be happy if I can be playing EVE before the end of tonight. :)

Many thanks go out to ceralor for his advice. My linux mind was stuck in Debian mode and I was having a hard time trying to remember how Gentoo works. Thankfully it's all coming back. :D

Oh yes, my machine is now called "Mother".

P.S. Thank you Bravo for adult swim, especially The Venture Bros.

Well, I do read, I haven't yet seen my name mentioned though. And I just usually don't think to comment. Most of the time I read my friends page without commenting at all, even for good friends.

Fair 'nuff.

Remind me to pester you at some point, since despite making rather a bad first impression on me way back, that was about four years ago and it's hardly worth thinking about now :P

Pesterpester?

Yeah, I'm not at all like I was. Other than alive. And male. >_>
