It could be simply an ebuild that doesn't come in the stage3. In the installation instructions there could be a section explaining it and giving instructions for installing it with a link to a page describing exactly what it does. The user would not have it on their system at all without deliberately installing it. Having it on the installation page would make them aware that it's out there and gives a place for making the case that it is valuable to funtoo. The statistics captured by the reporting tool could be publicly available on the funtoo website since they are collectively not linkable to any individual. This is the most free, open, and unintrusive scenario.

have you done any work on this or began development of it?

These are really nice.. you made something beautiful!

For the record I'm excited about the idea since funtoo is open source, it makes it unoffensive to me. Should this happen, I will install and immediately begin reporting on all my machines (3).

I think following extra repositories could be helpful as well. If a mass of users is pulling ebuilds from a repo that is not in main, we could use that to consider adding it to main. Also a simple tool for turning on/off reporting on each item individually to allow for "secret repos" and other such things. I agree with the above that it should be defaulted to "off" and that details about it should be on the installation page so that it's up front from the beginning. These things require transparency which includes probably letting the user know where the source code is located on his/her machine.

I think this is a good idea actually. It could improve user oriented focus of development by pointing developers to the most widely used softwares and hardware among fun too users.

I currently run Funtoo on a single core Celeron 900 2.8 GHZ laptop and it runs fine.. however Chromium has a 36 hour compile time (inconvenient for a "portable" device). It is worth the results to me. Also running funtoo on a Core2 Duo 2.4 GHZ laptop (old gateway) and same scenario. Your very slow clock speed will have similar compile times. However the resulting system will perform exceptionally well because native compilation makes a massive difference when your using these slower CPUs.

I think it's a great idea, reduce administration effort plus reddit is much more visible on the web.

I think this sums it up:

I have to say that although he's arrogant and publicly a prick (don't know him personally), the work he's doing would be considered a contribution if it weren't being forced down our throats.

I monitor my logs retrospectively but I'm not functioning in a professional administrator capacity. I only administer funtoo on 2 desktops 1 server and 3 laptops in my home, for my family network. I suppose that a nifty python or Perl script running as a service could be written to watch logs and sort out messages that are not significant to you, posting those that are to CLI or other. Have you tried wtail ? I guess that's what multitail was based on? by the way.. which logs are you monitoring regularly?

I think the following go without mention: irssi (IRC chat client) lynx (CLI web browser) htop (list most resource intensive running apps)

my 4yr old black friday laptop with XFCE4 also:

This update blew by in a 100kmh world update.. never missed a lick. Thanks for being on the ball!

love the I3 shots... it makes me terribly interested in trying it out

Trying to get a slide on the front page... XFCE4 What does YOUR everyday desktop look like?
