Early adopters of Gentoo will remember Daniel Robbins, or drobbins as he was more commonly known, the creator of Gentoo Linux, for his excellently written documentation on IBM developerWorks, commitment to Gentoo, activity in the community, and eventual high profile departure from Gentoo. But did you know he's still contributing to Gentoo in different ways?

I can't recall the first mail transport agent (MTA) that I used when I first got started with Gentoo. I'm fairly certain it was not sendmail and I think it was, in fact, postfix itself (this is way before Gentoo made ssmtp the default). Since I had no interest in running an email server back then, I used it only for local mail delivery, and as it turns out, configuring postfix for local mail delivery only is surprisingly easy.

I run a small, non-anonymous FTP server for myself and some friends, primarily to use as a server for the excellent Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer. It's simple and gets the job done and I'm not particularly concerned with security (obviously).

After being inaccessible for several weeks (if not months), I was finally able to get my hands on some kernel patches for Reiser4. I originally found the patches and software below on this site.
