|    bandwidth requirement to use gentoo    |

      From: umarsaid@gmail.com              Hi,              I've been using Debian for 2 years. I often download newest version       software and compile it myself. Some programs compiles smoothly, some       don't. That is because the programs depend on new library, and installing       them can break my system. For example, today I want to install       exaile_0.2.11.1 and it eventually needs cairo >= 1.4.12 while the       installed one is 1.2.4.              I plan to use gentoo since it's versionless. But my network connection is       slow. If I have installed gentoo from CD, and then sync to the last state       gentoo, how many MByes data transfered? Is the source code downloaded by       diff only (like svn update) or a whole new version of source code?              TIA              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
