Gentoo-Quebec training:

The Gentoo-Quebec group has offered its first training session about the Gentoo distribution on Saturday 13th, 2008. First of a series of 18, this course enabled 24 participants to familiarize themselves with the Gentoo LiveCD and to briefly learn about the command line utilities involved when installing Gentoo.

This training session was made possible thanks to the Gentoo-Quebec team as well as Copernic, http://www.copernic.com/ which provided a training room and the network installation for all participants. For more information, please consult the Internet web site at the following address (in French): http://gentoo-quebec.org

One of there more advance user's is Mathieu Bélanger nickname : DestroyFx
He is on the Gentoo forum, and also inside the IRC Channel and the Gentoo-Quebec.org forum too.

For the documentation, co-writer is Guy Fontaine Nickname Gfontaine on IRC and on the Gentoo-quebec forum.
On the official Gentoo forum, he uses the nickname aramis_qc.

On a side note I just updated to openrc 0.4.0-r1 and baselayout 2.0.0 . Make sure your follow the great documentation here ; http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/openrc-migration.xml

Also during my big update to ~amd64 I updated to xorg-X11 7.4 and xorg-server 1.5.3 . If you cannot start X because of module version mismatch errors, this is your problem. You can generate a list of all installed packages in the x11-drivers category using this command:
emerge portage-utils; qlist -I -C x11-drivers/

Cast of Cranks: threethirty monsterb azimuth jlindsay Chad Wollenberg Xoke Mrs. Xoke Dann Stories: Understanding Canonical’s new Linux notification system http://arstechnica.com/guides/other/canonical-linux-notification-system.ars A change in status Canonical, the company behind the popular Ubuntu Linux distribution, has announced plans to overhaul desktop notifications. The project is part of a broader initiative that the company launched earlier this year to boost the usability of the Linux software ecosystem. =========================================== “I’m Linux” Video Contest [...]

Just wanted to say “My Bad” to the folks who got a video in the MP3 feed instead of audio. We have a bug in PodPress that is causing it to enclose hyperlinked (in the show notes) media files into the RSS feed.

So last post, when I linked to the Ogg Theora version of the last episode, it enclosed that instead of the MP3 file.

I’m working to get this fixed, might just start custom building the RSS feed for the MP3 version of the feed. If I do that, your RSS catcher might re-download a few files, so I am hesitant to make that change… I’ll work on it for a bit and do what I think is going to cause everyone the least amount of headaches long term!

Thanks for your understanding!
