Planet Gentoo Announced 25

Posted by timothy on Friday March 11, 2005 @04:00PM from the not-discovered dept.

An anonymous reader submits "Gentoo has announced the launch of Planet Gentoo, a weblog aggregator similar in style to Planet Gnome and Planet Debian. There are some interesting reads on what's going on, what might be going on in the future, and the occasional entertaining troll to liven things up. Worth a read to see what's being cooked up by one of the more innovative distributions, even if you're not a Gentoo user yourself."

  This is a jab at ciaranm. He's typicaly very outspoken about his positions and as in any typical controversy the looser typicaly resorts to name calling.

  One can only guess that its referring to the post the guy makes about PHP being only a "toy language" because it came from humble roots.. He's obviously grossly incorrect and almost certainly is trying to incite others to challenge his opinion.

      And what exactly constitutes a "toy language"? He seems to be implying that PHP is only meant for use as web counters on people's personal home pages. Considering its widespread deployment and even incorporation by one of the web's biggest portals (Yahoo), I feel PHP is justified as a bonafide programming language. If a language gets the job done, use it. Just because it is easy to use/learn shouldn't automatically make it a "toy language", in fact, its quite childish to come to such conclusions. He makes n

  If you are a Gentoo user, chances are you know what a troll Ciaranm is. Read the forums or gentoo-dev list. Read his past entries and you'll see him trolling fellow developers.
  
  Hes only remotely civilized when hes begging for amazon wishlist items.

    Just look for some recent posts about reiser4 on the forums. His way or the highway. ;) From a college student no less.. Whores for wishlist items, doesn't get any from Gentoo users and states such, and is hung up on vim and fluxbox with everything else being useless it seems.. especially those "other" html editors. :(
    
    Must be a common trait in the fluxbox camp, they don't seem to play well with others. :)

I've looked at it and as far as I can see it's just a sort of blog-list. What's the point of that? What's it do for me as a Gnetoo user?
And that guy Ciaran McCreesh isn't a troll, he's a wanker, with his "I'll critise something I don't understand and wind up everyone who does for a laugh" routine. I'm sure we'll see Ciaran stepping up to take Dave Allen's mantel as the world's greatest comedian any day now...Christ, to be a spotty know-it-all again!

Just so everyone knows, both sites run Drupal [drupal.org], an open source content management system (CMS) that is written in PHP and runs on *NIX flavors, Windows, PostrgreSQL and MySQL.

    Seems that I confused Planet Debian [debian.net] for Debian Planet [debianplanet.org], and extrapolated from there. Apologies
