I'm trying to turn this dual-celeron box into a music server for the apartment. I figured this would be the best chance to experiment with Gentoo Linux, a distro with a lot of cool DIY aspects yet a sizable support community. I've already learned a lot from the work I've already done.
I can't compile a damn kernel successfully. I picked some settings (nothing too crazy) and got this seg fault that even admitted I couldn't reproduce it. I have to take a dare like that, don't I?
Upshot: mostly the same error, never at the same step twice. I tried some tweaks and got nowhere. I tried stepping it to one processor and didn't see a real difference. Perhaps something really is burned out inside. Any of you Linux folk familiar? I tried to log into Gentoo Forums, but their server seems to be in maintenance mode.
This is frustrating. I realize how little I actually know about Linux when things like this happen. I've never had success when I brewed my own kernel. I'm glad I have no deadline for this. I'd still prefer to have it working.
