Thinking of Moving from gentoo any advice

Im thinking of moving from gentoo to ArchLinux as I have a few pet peeves about gentoo that won't go away
but I can't go to suse, fedora etc etc tried them and its AOL all over again ..too much hand holding
has any body had any exp moving from gentoo to Archlinux?
and use a luks encrypted root , home & swap
also are things like Nvidia drivers, Mp3 , dvd stuff in the distro or do i have to go hunting add other repo's (fedora style )
does the Gnome build include things like hald dbus auto magically
any other things to expect
like not bugs persay but diffences that I might not expect
regards Dick

Here is my experience with the two distro's. I tried gentoo before finding arch linux. I was looking for a OS that I could have more control over the setup, that was my criteria.
Gentoo fit that bill exactly. So I started in on the installation guide for gentoo. When I was done I rebooted my pc only to find that gentoo didn't install right the first time. Somewhere I made a mistake and things went ape sh*t on me.
My next attempt was at arch linux, again, I just started in with the installation guide and things seemed to go smooth, sorta like gentoo. All seemed well, but I did not get my hopes up. When I rebooted my pc after the install of arch I was pleasantly surprised to see it had booted to the command line. WOOT! I was hooked, what can be more easier then diving into something completely blind, a newb at that, and still come out on top with a working, fast, reliable system. Plus its bleeding edge, which just makes my day.
I am not saying one is better then the other, but I find arch linux to be right up my alley. AUR is one of the best features of this site. But, my favorite section is still the wiki. I have linked to this wiki plenty of time even for others using different distro's. The amount of knowledge in the arch wiki is a godsend for any newb like me wanting to understand linux. Gentoo has a great wiki, but half of what they say and discuss is way over my head ATT.

Thinking of moving from O2 Broadband to BT : Opini...

Hi all,
I'm currently with O2 having been a customer with them for many years. I'm on a rolling month to month contract with them as I have never renewed since my previous contract expired last year. I've got my MAC having requested it last week and at the time O2 offered me free broadband for 12 months if I renewed there and then.
I'm unsure whether to stay or move with the upcoming sale of O2 over to Sky. As I said, been a happy customer for many years and its only recently I've had any hassles with speeds. In the evenings laterly from 18.30 onwards until about midnight my d/l speeds drop from a normally very good @16mbps to around 1-2mbps. This is becoming tiresome and despite having reported it to O2 Support they maintain there are no issues and that there is no congestion affecting me. Been getting nowhere with this problem so as you can understand I am reluctant to sign up with them for another contract at this time. So I've been looking at a move, perhaps to BT. My exchange details can be seen below along with my current line stats - my exchange looks to be getting FTTC in 2014 so I'll have to wait for that. Until then I believe I can get ADSL2+ with BT from my exchange so I'd like to aska couple of questions on not only that but on peoples experiences with BT if I may.
Firstly, has anyone else moved from O2 to BT and if so how did you find the experience and subsequent line speeds?. I'm of the understanding that I'll receive similar speeds with BT that I already get with my current O2 package?. Also, I assume since I'm on ADSL2+ with O2 at the moment that with BT's 'top package' I'll also be put on ADSL2+?.
We've been sent a letter by BT offering the 'top broadband package' for £11.10 per month for 18 months. This one:-
To thank you for choosing us, we've chosen you for something special. You can get our top of the range broadband package with unlimited UK evening and weekend calls for £11.10 a month, plus your usual line rental throughout.
Normally this costs £26 a month, so you'll be getting it for less than half price. You won't see this offer advertised anywhere. It's only for the handful of people we're writing to.
Here are some of the benefits that set this package apart:-
Unlimited usage. You don't have to worry about exceeding your limit or paying extra. You can download music, watch films and BBC iPlayer and play games - as much as you like.
The latest technology. You get our most reliable wireless signal ever to your laptop, desktop, tablet or phone, thanks to the latest Smart Wireless and 'N' Technology.
BT Home Hub worth £99. Your Home Hub is included. All you pay is £6.95 for delivery.
Free, unlimited wifi minutes. When you're out and about you can avoid expensive data costs by logging on with your smartphone or laptop at over 4.5 million hotspots in the UK and 3 million abroad - the largest wifi network in the world.
Free advanced McAfee Family Protection software worth £44.99, to help keep your children safe online.
Plus unlimited UK Evening and Weekend calls. You can chat away to family and friends every night and all weekend. Unlimited UK evening and weekend calls are all part of the package. And unlimited minutes to 0845 and 0870 numbers are also included within your calling plan times so you can ring companise like banks without worrying about costs.
Is that a pretty good deal?. Here are my current details, exchange and line stats:-
Many thanks for any replies.

Hi Cammy55,
I've moved your thread to the Bills & Packages board as it's more related to the BB&phone packages and hopefully you'll also get more of a response from the community members.
It terms of ADSL2+ and broadband speed, as long as your local exchange has been BTw 21cn upgraded ( which it looks like it has ) then you will be able to receive the ADSL2/2+ (upto 12mbps / 20mbps) service with a upload speed of around 1.2mbps.
Your line attenuation should also be around the same, so with a line attenuation of 20dB your line is approx. 1.4Km long which I would have estimated a broadband speed between 17mbps to 20mbps on a good quality line.
BT Retail should also give you an estimated broadband speed figure when your order or use the BT Retail BB checker.
Hope that helps,
Cheers

What do you guys think of this site/pricelist/ any advice?

Hey guys,
Just finished up launching my graphics business website -
www.coastgrafix.com.
Have a look at it, let me know what you think, didn't want to
get to advanced with flash on it etc. - If you have any pointers or
ideas for it or the pricing let me know!
Regards,

As others have said, your menu text defies legibility, but so
does all
of the text except "CoastGrafix" in the logo. The Serpentine
font is
particularly hard to read, even in print, and as graphic text
at the
size you are using it, might as well be hieroglyphs. It is
also, as
others have noted, a very dated type face--it does convey a
"high tech"
feeling, but the "high tech" of about 1982. The HTML text is
too small
and white text on black is hard to read.
The highlight colors for your menu are confusing. A color
that serves as
the highlight color for one menu item is the not-highlighted
color for
several others. Two shades of gray are used for two menu
items'
highlight, and the orange... well, it's hard to summarize
what the
colors might mean here, and that's a problem.
Also, the color scheme that you seem to be trying to use on
menu items
to indicate the current page is inconsistently implemented or
just an
accident that looks sort of deliberate.
You are using orange with an underline for links, but using
the same
color (without an underline) for emphasized text. This is
confusing.
On your ???? page (can't tell which page it is from the
design, and all
of your page titles are the same) you have an image that says
something
like "HOT SPECIAL." Clicking this launches my email program.
I have a
very strong aversion to links that are email links and not
identified as
such. You would do better to use a form for this function
anyway.

I am having trouble installing Snow Leopard on my MacBook -it just quits midway through. I have one GB of memory which I think should be enough. Any advice

I am having trouble installing Snow Leopard on my MacBook. It's around 4 years old and has 1GB Memory. The installation just quits around 20 minutes into the process without any error message. My current OS is Leopard.

but it didn't have Mac OS installed, the previous owner was a Windows 7 user, so that was the only OS installed in my Mac.
The previous owner should have given you the discs that originally came with the computer.
Replacement System Discs can be obtained from Apple's Customer Support - US (800) 767-2775 for a nominal fee. You'll need to have the model and serial number of your Mac available.
If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html

I updated the new version of OSX Mountain Lion and now the app store won't open. I keep getting an error message from it. any advice?

I got the notification that i needed to update the software and when i did and it finished, the app store stopped opening. it keeps sending me an error message. does anyone know what to do? thanks

MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) is required. You've not indicated which one you have. If yours is one of these, then http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact/

Is it possible to transfer your license to another country? I am thinking of moving from the UK to Canada

I am looking to purchase products but need to know if the license is transferable.

Hi there
Creative Cloud subscriptions are linked to an Adobe ID for a specific country.
If you move, you can cancel the existing subscription under the UK ID and sign up again using a new ID with the country as Canada so you get billed correctly.
Hope this helps.

I face a problem with my macbook air or i think it's from the lion OS cause i didn't happen with snow leopard OS the massage says ( you can't open the application ....... because powerPC applications are no longer supported) any advice ??

I face a problem with my macbook air or i think it's from the lion OS cause i didn't happen with snow leopard OS the massage says ( you can't open the application ....... because powerPC applications are no longer supported). any advice ??

Mac OS X Lion has dropped support for Rosetta, the feature that allowed you to run PowerPC apps on previous OS X systems. Check if you can find a newer version of the app you are trying to run that supports Intel processors.
What application are you trying to run? Maybe I can help you find a version that runs on Lion.

Any advice on moving from iPad 3 (WiFi) to iPad 4 (WiFi+Cellular)

My new iPad is on it's way and I want to make sure that all of the content I have on my current iPad will move over to my new iPad.
I just synced and backed up using iTunes 11 on my MacBook Pro running 10.8.2. So will I just have to restore from that backup to my new iPad?
What about podcasts that I have in Instacast? I have about 5 GB of unlistened to podcasts that I want to make sure move over without problem.
Both iPads are 64 GB models, so I'm not moving from / to a different size device.
I'm moving to the cellular model because where I work they block personal hotspots and do not have WiFi throughout the building.
My current iPad runs iOS 6.0.1. Should I ensure the new one is also running that version before doing the restore?
Anything else I should watch out for?
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

It will not let you restore if the new 4th generation iPad has an older version of iOS than the one you wish to restore from. However, it should already come with the latest version. I would recommend using iCloud for your backups. You can read more here:
iOS: Restoring Data to a New Device

Thinking of moving to iMac from PC, got a few questions

I'm thinking of moving to an iMac for my next computer, probably in the next 6 months or so, but I have a few questions I wondered if you might be able to help me with.
I'm planning on getting Parrallels Desktop and installing Windows. Now I know Time Machine takes backups every hour. But I was wondering if it will also backup not only the Mac side but the Windows side too.
For example, if I install a program on the Mac side, edit a file, delete a file etc, Time Machine will backup the changes on its next backup. If I done the same while running Windows, i.e install a program on the Windows side, edit a file, delete a file etc, does Time Machine backup these changes for the Windows side too.
Presently for my backing up purposes. I have a hard drive caddie which has a esata connection as well as a USB connection. I have a 3.5 inch 1 TB sata drive that slides in and out of my caddie by way of (for want of a better word) a cradle. I'm planning on getting a 3.5 inch 2 TB sata drive and an additional cradle so that I can have a large collection of backups.
Now with the hard drive caddie I've mentioned above, to use it on an iMac, I would only be able to connect it via USB. My fear with this is that it will be a lot slower at taking backups to what I am currently used to seeing when I have it connected to my PC via esata.
I thought about this and noticed the LaCie eSATA Hub Thunderbolt Series on the Apple website http://store.apple.com/uk/product/H8875ZM/A/lacie-esata-hub-thunderbolt-series?f node=5f&fs=m.tsConnections%3Desata
From what I can gather, it would allow me to connect my current esata caddie up to it and it would increase the performance of it to Thunderbolt performance and also would allow me to make use of my current hard drive in the process. I was wondering if anyone has used this hub and if so, is the performance significantly improved. I thought that Thunderbolt would be a good and extremely fast way of taking backups. I will point out that I find that the taking backups every hour with Time Machine, for me would be a bit of an overkill, so I'm planning on just switching Time Machine off when I don't need it to take backups, and then switching it back on when I want it to take a backup. Doing this could result in larger backups than if I had it doing it hourly, so again I thought something that would give me Thunderbolt performance would be good for this scenario.
Any help and advice would be appreciated.

By default TimeMachine does not back up your Parallels virtual machine and if you think about it that's a good thing. Since the Virtual Machine is in effect a hard drive, just booting up Windows or launching a program changes the VM file as temporary files are created. My VM is 25GB so not only would TimeMachine be making a copy of the VM every hour that Parallels is running, it would be copying 25GB! Not good.
There are a number of solutions. On my desktop I use a different program to backup my VM each evening about the time I eat dinner. On my notebook I have a repeating reminder that asks if I've backed up my VM recently. As far files go, my solution is to save all my files to my Mac drive space so that TM backs them up.
USB is slower than eSATA but for day to day use, USB is fine for TimeMachine. The initial backup will be longer and OS updates will result in longer backups but otherwise....I have a USB drive connected to the computer I'm using right now. On most hourly backups TM is running a couple minutes and it doesn't require much bandwidth or CPU so the only time I really notice it running is I look at the drive light.

Downloaded games from suppliers to iPad - these are now downlighting to iTunes on my m/s computer and taking hours and hours to do so. If I delete them from iTunes will this affect the games now on my iPad? Any advice would be appreciated.

Games downloaded direct to iPad. They are now auto downloading to iTunes on M/s PC and taking hours to do so. If I delete those partially downloaded to PC will it affect those on iPad when I next sync iPad with PC?
Any advice appreciated - thanks.

To start things off, I like to manually manage my media and will insturct you to do the same. To enable doing this, you check off the box for it on your phone's summary on iTunes. Now tranferring media is as easy as dragging and dropping.
(1) To get songs from your phone onto your iTunes, you open up your phone's dropdown menu on the iTunes sidebar and click Music. You can be able to drag music file into your Music folder in the Library section of iTunes. You can also just right click your phone's name and click "Transfer Purchases" if you want to move everything new on your iPhone onto your computer's library.
(2) You open your Music library on your computer and simply drag highlighted songs onto your phone's name on the sidebar. When in album grid view or cover flow, you can click and drag a whole album right on. The downside of manual management is that you can easily accidentally add doubles of songs onto your phone. Of course, if you notice this on your phone, you can just swipe to the right across the song's name and you should have a nice little delete button so you can remove extras anywhere.
(3) I heard about this online and it actually is buried in the Terms and Conditions somewhere. I don't think this rule will apply if you are exchanging the music over your iTunes account devices. I think this applies to buring the iTunes material to CDs. I think these speacial media file can somehow detect what they are moved or copied onto and keep a statistic buried in their coding. This is more of a logical assumption than a fact, but what else could these terms possibly mean? If you want to know more about this, Bruce Willis was having a big arguement about this online because he wanted to give his medie to his children. You can probably find an article about this using those search terms.
I worked hard on this response and would appreciate if you marked it correct if it served as any help to you. Thank you in advance.

Big transition from PC and Cubase, any advice welcomed to avoid Apple Shock

Hello everyone,
I've been waiting until the new Mac Pros were released before jumping out of the PC plane and into the Mac world, I just want to have as good a parachute as possible so any advice and help is appreciated. My apologies if I'm putting in too many questions, I just didn't want to create a bunch of threads in different areas and some of these questions may have a simple answer.
With that said, here's where I'm at:
I've used Cubase since version 3 and am currently using SE3 through an Echo Layla 24 (PCI card to 1U rack interface) with XP.
Would it be better to tread lightly by purchasing Logic Express and then Studio or just go straight for the Studio version? I have no problems learning a new system and am excited at the prospect of using Logic for everything as I continually read how great it is on the Mac platform. I just want to make sure Logic is able to do everything Cubase (recording audio/midi) and Wavelab (mastering) have done for me for years now.
Also, I'm not sure my Layla 24 will work in these new Mac Pros so if I have to upgrade my interface as well I've been looking at the following options:
MOTU 828mkii (possibly getting a Black Lion Audio mod at some point)
Apogee Duet and then getting a simple USB/MIDI breakout box for the MIDI.
On my current interface, I'm able to keep a drum machine, keyboard, POD Pro, condenser mic, and a MIDI device plugged in simultaneously to 1/4" inputs and MIDI connectors respectively. That's really convenient and the reason I've had my eye on the 828mkii. The only reason I'm considering the Duet is that I've read nothing but the most positive of reviews for this device over anything in the sub $1000 range. Made for Apple, integrates well with Logic, and the sound is beyond unbelievable. If the sound is really that much worth it over the 828mkii even with a BLA mod then I can always get a USB to MIDI cable/box and deal with the constant plugging/unplugging of my 1/4" devices.
In addition, I've recently acquired a Line 6 Toneport UX2 USB interface. Is there any major hiccups using this device with Logic Studio/Express? I like some of the sounds I can get out this little box and simply changing the output channel in the Gearbox software allows me to record a dry signal while monitoring wet.
Lastly, I've seen on the new Mac Pros the option to get the single Quad version for $500 less. That $500 would be handy towards Logic Studio/Express and a new interface device if I had to get one. Would it be possible to get the single Quad Mac Pro and then buy a single processor chip down the road to bring it to the same speed as the Mac Pro default configuration in the Apple store? Would I be voiding any warranties by traveling down that road?
Thank you in advance for your patience and time,
TR

First off,
Thanks for all the great replies. Where to begin, where to begin...
I've spent several hours reading as much as possible on the interfaces I previously listed, adding the RME Fireface 400, Audiofire 12, and MOTU Ultralite to the fray. I would imagine each of these devices along with the ones I formerly mentioned probably sound better than the Echo Layla 24. The Layla line (still own a 20, and now the 24) has been good for me in the past and I would like to up the ante, although I do have to keep the total cost in mind as this is a no holds barred full crossover. New Mac Pro, new interface, and new software. As Tom mentioned from having a similar experience, it's years worth of hardware and software invested. In addition to just this change, I'd like to also move my other non-audio programs over as well, namely Photoshop CS2, CorelDraw, Premiere, Quickbooks, and a slew of other work related software. It's a little daunting to say the least. I do think Adobe offers some sort of crossover deal but I have to check further into that. Hopefully other companies offer something like that as well.
Glad to hear there are other Cubase users who've moved over to Logic without much trouble. Depending on how much the new hardware interface is going to cost will most likely be the deciding factor between me getting the Studio version or Express version of Logic. I do like that if you get Express you can simply spend another $300 for the Studio upgrade. That's how it should be. I won't start a Cubase vs Logic thread, as this is just a comment regarding company policy, however I have the Cubase Producer Pack, VST, VST/32, SE3 and other Cubase related boxes sitting on my shelf and with all the money invested there wasn't a decent cost effective upgrade solution for me. I'd be forced to buy Cubase 4 at full price in order for Mac compatibility and that just leaves a bad taste for me. One of the reasons I've been ready to try Logic.
Is there any difference between the Express 8 engine and the Studio engine? I've read that Garageband (included with the operating system) has a similar or same engine. Would it be possible for me to lay down some quick 'idea' or 'spur of the moment' tracks in that Garageband software and then move them into Logic to flesh them all out possibly retaining a track or two from Garageband? Just curious on that one.
One other question regarding the Logic software editing. Most of the tracks I lay down require multiple takes which I simply punch in and out onto multiple tracks. I snip the audio segments accordingly then shift them all onto the same track. I then hop into Wavelab (open at the same time) to process the .WAV files used on said track (usually adding Noise Reduction, other plugins), then hop back over to Cubase which updates the track accordingly. It saves me CPU processing power (although I probably won't have to worry about that with an 8 core system), however, will I be able to easily punch in and out as well as shift the varying pieces of track together from multiple tracks?
Thanks for the UX2 experience, I know on the box it says Mac compatible, I was worried that I'd have to possibly buy a newer piece of gear to run it, ala the Cubase software. (It apparently is compatible with an older version of the Mac OS)
So here's where I'm at as of today:
I've decided to go with the 8 core system so I won't have to worry about any future issues at least for quite a while.
Purchasing Logic Express or Studio is dependent on the cost of the new interface.
The interface options are (in alphabetical order of course):
Apogee Duet and USB MIDI breakout box
Echo Audiofire 12
MOTU 828mk2 (used from eBay, then get a BLA analog mod)
MOTU Ultralite
RME Fireface 400
I can tell you one thing for certain, if I can ever get that money tree out back to grow I'll rarely have any questions at all. HA!
Thanks again for all the responses and helpful advice,
TR

Hi - my Mu was "buggy" and would not update - so i threw the APP in the trash - but now CC will not allow me to Re-Install because it thinks i already have the APP - any advice?

restore your app from the trash and then properly uninstall.
if that fails, CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed

Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
More likely you will need to reinstall OS X:
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Alternatively, see:
Reinstall OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Choose the version you have installed now:
OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Anyone any advice on how to stop my mail "activity" from continuously caching? is this a problem? I have had inbox issues recently that are not resolved yet but I am not sure if they are related.

Anyone any advice on how to stop my mail "activity" from continuously caching? is this a problem? I have had inbox issues recently that are not resolved yet but I am not sure if they are related.

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.
