Deklan?

Installed without issues today.  Nothing earthshaking but it's progress.  I like alt-tab cycling through the windows as a list.
 
Of course xfce4-mixer still works fine. I'm just wondering what "not maintained" means for the future.

Does anyone know how to enable the window previews in the alt-tab dialog?

xfce4-mixer will work anyway.

No problem right now.   I ask because the release notes for xfce 4.12 say that xfce4-mixer and xfce4-volumed will no longer be maintained because  gstreamer1.0 dropped the mixer-interface.    I currently use xfce4-mixer to control volume and mute or unmute devices.

Good to see.  I'll look forward to it appearing in portage.  I hope that as XFCE starts moving to GTK3 they'll avoid client side decorations or any of the other "mobile-like" features.   I don't need my desktop to look like a tablet.
 
What's the preferred replacement for xfce-mixer?

our wiki's setup a bit better than arches.  they certainly do have the content part down, but some pages look like wreckage with the excessive warning/dispute templates.  on the main site Go > how to 'wiki' is a really easy way to learn how to wiki stuff @ funtoo.

MS Power point? There is LibreOffice/OpenOffice Impress.
 
But I see your point.
A standardize presentation package with default script to go with the presentation.

XFCE4 - Reiser4 FS, NTFS writing ...

The flamewar was already started, and the tread was deviated(I even read a bit of a wayland rant) from the intent of the OP many posts before mine, contrary to your experience I've seen many times help given on the gentoo mailing list to people that want to try it, and lots of patience, It's a shame you didn't asked the right people, but if you go anywhere with the argument 'Theres no documentation' when there is and its even local, it's likely the one who took the effort to read and grasp the manuals(and don't say most manuals are easy, look at bash), might get unfriendly, because you don't want to put any effort, remember asking for help in the open source it's taking someone time for free, so an extra effort is required, to show appreciation of the time given to you.

Did you set the kernel settings before installing systemd?
 
http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Systemd

OK I have systemd working on funtoo. The biggest difference is not only the boot time but also the time GDM takes to load. GDM loads almost instantly now, before with openrc GDM took about 5 seconds to load. I don't seem to have any other major problems. Tutorial coming soon.
 
OK here it is... How to use systemd in funtoo:
 
Go to gpo.zugaina.org and get the latest versions of the following pacakages from gentoo's version of portage
virtual/libudev virtual/libgudev virtual/udev sys-apps/util-linux Next add the following to USE= in /etc/portage/make.conf
systemd gudev -static-libs run the following
echo "sys-fs/lvm2 -static" >> /etc/portage/pacakge.use Then comes the scary part... removing packages. This may or may not be necessary. I found that it fixed blocks when emergeing systemd. (the packages are added back later anyway so not to worry)
emerge --unmerge virtual/libudev virtual/libgudev virtual/udev sys-auth/nss-myhostname lvm2 Now to install systemd run the following
emerge -v --oneshot virtual/libudev virtual/libgudev virtual/udev && emerge -v systemd Finally do the following to update all affected packages.
emerge -NuvD world The final steps are to rebuild your kernel enabling systemd which may not be necessary and then telling grub to use systemd. Add the following to /etc/boot.conf with the other kernel params.
params += init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd Once you are done with that all you have to do is run
boot-update Now you can reboot and enjoy systemd. Note you might have to add networkmanager and gdm to systemctl to get them to start automatically. That can be accomplished by doing the following.
systemctl enable NetworkManager.service && systemctl enable gdm.service One last configuration step is to set your hostname and you are done!
hostnamectl set-hostname <HOSTNAME> I hope that this helps everyone who is trying to get systemd working on funtoo. Enjoy!

I've mentioned this here a few times, I use systemd with Funtoo(Or should I say NotFuntoo since drobbins says Funtoo is only Funtoo with OpenRC), I would have bothered to do what l33tlinuxh4x0r did, and post a guide and even an overlay, but I anticipated a flamewar like this, for no reason, anyway getting systemd to run isn't that hard, and any competent user would figure out the changes needed.
Many of you seem to know little about systemd, or can't read manuals(Undocumented?), and yet have big opinions on it, anyway this this has shown to be the tendency in among most of the systemd detractors. I understand devs don't want the burden of having to deal with bugs related to a software they dislike, but certainly It isn't attractive either to try to contribute for the few of us who like it, when any intent would turn into a flame war.

My computer boots faster with openrc than it ever did with systemd. Somehow I get the feeling you want a 46 page flame debate though. 

Wow, sounds perfect!

It may work for some people, but please give it a name other than funtoo-sources. Maybe something like funtoo-desktop-sources as this kernel is geared for desktops.

I re-vectorized the original funtoo logo to make some wallpapers and a 3d model and posted the svg and other editable files(3d) with that logo some time ago in this tread: http://forums.funtoo.org/index.php?/topic/88-some-artwork-for-funtoo-wallpapers/&do=findComment&comment=347
look at the bottom in the post, there's a URL to a tar.xz in dropbox.

Hi All,
 
Many of you have probably seen our new responsive Web site skin for the wiki at www.funtoo.org.
 
I switched to a new bootstrap-based skin which is in turn based on an in-development set of MediaWiki extensions that I'm helping out with.
 
Here are advantages of the new skin:
 
Properly renders on mobile devices Much easier to customize and improve over time Much "cleaner" look Makes it possible to integrate the look of auth.funtoo.org with the wiki. Here are some negatives:
For a while, a few things will not render 100% correctly until tweaked Doesn't look like a "regular" wiki Overall, it is a big positive change as the new bootstrap framework with the extensions is much easier to customize and improve than the "old" MediaWiki skin system. And this effort is also being actively developed so by having funtoo.org use this system, I am better able to test it out, find issues, and contribute to its development.
 
Hope you like it!
 
-Daniel

Lets clear out some misunderstandings, first there's no such thing as USE="~amd64", ~amd64 is an architecture keyword not an use flag. second I don't think it is that simple as USE="multilib" and emerge again, if you want to use multilib you need a compiler that supports multilib, or so far this has been my understanding regarding this topic, and because of "USE=(multilib)" which means multilib use flag is masked, my guess is OP used a pure64 stage3, I don't know if there's an 'easy and just works' way to switch from pure64 to multilib, so it's likely a reinstall would be less work.
