After a few troubles getting Gentoo I finally done it. It took me about 9 kernel recompiles, 5 fresh starts. Nevertheless the reward is awesome. I know have lots of HDD space to play with, and really fast machine.
That’s right, no more OS X or Windows, the software I run on my Macbook, is 100% running on free software. Everything (with the exception of flash) has been compiled for my system.
I’ve created a few scripts, such as switching the fan speed from high to automatic and back again, because I want my lap cool, but I also want to save battery and not make too much noise.
Everything is working really nicely, except for the intel driver forcing me into 1024×768, instead of 1280×800, unfortunately the new intel drivers break for me so I’m stuck -_-.
I’ve been taking some time lapse sun sets, and hopefully tomorrow I’ll get a good one. Today I set the timer to short, so it was very jumpy. We’ll see.
