Posted by Philipp Esselbach on: 07/29/2002 09:10 AM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]
tinyminds.org has posted an interview with Daniel Robbins, founder and Chief Architect of the Gentoo Linux project:
TM: One common complaint from users who are considering using Gentoo is that the install seems too difficult. Are there any plans to create a more streamlined version of the install, or do you plan on staying with the "shell and 14 pages of instructions" approach?
DR: Yes; we have a beta Anaconda installer and a beta live CD installer that uses Debian's "discover" hardware detection code. We also have a developer working on an in-house installer. So expect some nice things in the future :)
