not a real answer but if I have trouble trying to figure out how to manipulate a file because of a weird filename then I just fire up python to rename it to 'deleteme'

ah this is cool: rm "-h" rm: invalid option -- 'h' Try 'rm ./-h' to remove the file '-h'. Try 'rm --help' for more information.

Now delete something with a newline in its filename. My favourite teaching moment is asking someone to delete all dotfiles in a directory. (But making sure they don't have anything irreplaceable in harm's way)

i actually know nothing about gentoo aside from the fact that most of the people who use it are probably on some kind of trafficking watchlist so uhhh someone fill me in i guess from what ive read it seems similar to arch but that might just be the people who use it rather than the distro itself

hbag posted:i have an incredibly cheap HP laptop that has like a 30GB SSD that my secondary school gave me to do my GCSEs on and never asked for me to return To be incredibly honest, I don't really know if 30 GB is enough to install Gentoo because it needs to download and install packages from source, and also keep around development headers and etc. Especially if you want to use a graphical environment and not just run a barebones apache server or something. But yeah, please try it out and let us know how it goes.

I helped run a lab that ran 100% gentoo on servers and workstations for MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE. To be fair, this was literally early 2000s (when SSE and etc registers and instructions were brand new, so it could have arguably been useful) and the it staff were all volunteers (so no impact on the budget if they work long hours) I even wrote an ebuild but I had to give it to someone else to submit it because I did not (and still do not) have any gentoo dev cred
