On a more serious note, gentoo is fun… On competent hardware. This is a 4 core Celeron N2940 with 4gb of RAM.

    bash.org is gone and I can’t find a reliable way to search its replacements

    https://bash-org-archive.com/

    https://www.google.com/search?q=site%253Abash-org-archive.com+gentoo

    That turns up four quotes with “gentoo”.

    The closest, I think, is:

    https://bash-org-archive.com/?464385

    <@insomnia> it only takes three commands to install Gentoo
<@insomnia> cfdisk /dev/hda && mkfs.xfs /dev/hda1 && mount /
dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo/ && chroot /mnt/gentoo/ && env-update &&
. /etc/profile && emerge sync && cd /usr/portage && scripts/
bootsrap.sh && emerge system && emerge vim && vi /etc/fstab &&
emerge gentoo-dev-sources && cd /usr/src/linux && make
menuconfig && make install modules_install && emerge gnome
mozilla-firefox openoffice && emerge grub && cp /boot/grub/
grub.conf.sample /boot/grub/grub.conf && vi /boot/grub/
grub.conf && grub && init 6
<@insomnia> that's the first one

    I don’t know about Google’s site coverage, but it turns up one test quote that I remember:

    https://bash-org-archive.com/?5273

    <erno> hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds
to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in
my apartment it is.

    looks further

    This is supposed to be the entire archive:

    https://archive.org/details/bash.org.txt

    Grabbing it and unpacking it gives me 21,096 text files, one for each bash.org quote.

    $ grep -i gentoo * -l|wc -l
13
$

    So Googlebot’s index of bash-org-archive.com probably isn’t complete; it got a quarter of the hits. However…

    $ grep -C500 -i gentoo *

    …doesn’t appear to turn up anything that looks like your quote.

    My guess is that you might have seen it on another site.

      Your diligence is appreciated. I’m familiar with bash-org-archive and qdb.lol; the problem is searching them. I hadn’t considered looking through them locally, but it’s a good idea.

      Admittedly I am fallible, so it isn’t impossible I saw the quote elsewhere, but more likely I’m misremembering the quote referencing Gentoo. Perhaps it was about Arch or even just generally about compiling software. I’m pretty sure the quote referenced xchess, so perhaps that would be more helpful to grep.

      Either way, thank you for making the effort to find it.
