Sabayon Linux Interview
I have recently interviewed Cvill 64 from Sabayon Linux. I posted the article before but it didn't reach a broad public. I think it's a shame to let it go to waste so if you haven't read it you can get a second chance here .
The Interview
Chris: Ciao, cheers, hello, hallo, oi, hola, and bonjour . First I’d like to introduce myself. My name is Christopher Villareal and my nick is cvill64 on the forums, irc, jabber, and just about anything computer related, so if you see me, please feel free to say hello!
Knolinux: Hello Chris, Why did you start working on a new Linux distro?
Chris: Let’s see, my gnu/linux experience started about 6 years ago when I started out with the major binary distributions. Since then, I got agitated by the fact that I didn’t have as much control over the system as I wanted. Then I came to gentoo after trying out some other source distros due to the tools that were available to me. As such, I was doing some searching and found a distro called RR4/RR64 which looked extremely promising. So on Dec. of ‘05 I joined the forums and started making post. Soon, I got used to helping others and really enjoyed the RR experience and had the pleasure to speak with the Lead on occasion. 6 monthes of hard work, I threw the idea to Fabio (lxnay) to become his co-lead and I really liked the fact of helping people come to an excellent distro. Its all about the community effort, and I wanted to help.
Currently I am helping maintain the main chroot environment, our custom overlay, and just managing bugs and interacting with the users through irc, the forums, and jabber.
Knolinux: Why the Gentoo base over Debian and others?
