Off Field
The Crew's resident Canadian Drew Beckie is looking forward to a weekend trip across the border to face Vancouver Whitecaps FC. The rookie defender is expected to be welcomed by friends, family and fellow Canadians for the match.
"I'm always excited to go back [to Canada]," Beckie said over the phone. "Even though Vancouver isn't home, I love being back and I'm looking forward to seeing friends there."
After playing four years at Denver University, Beckie can't wait to hear "Oh, Canada!" played before kickoff for the first time in his professional career. The Regina, Saskatchewan native has represented his country at the U-17, U-20 and U-23 levels in the past.
"I'm a very proud Canadian," he explained. "I love the National Anthem. I think Americans love theirs too, but it's just something that's in the Canadian spirit. Playing for the National Team, you really feel that pride to represent Canada. I'm really excited to hear 'Oh, Canada!'"
Despite his Saskatchewan roots, Beckie is an avid follower of the NHL Vancouver Canucks. The rookie faces a conundrum as his Canucks face the Columbus Blue Jackets Thursday evening, but the rookie isn't bailing on the team he grew up cheering for.
"I always root for the Canucks, but now Columbus is my hometown team," Beckie said. "I'm kind of torn, but I'm going to go with Vancouver. I don't want to make any enemies, but I'll say it will be a draw and an overtime win for the Canucks. That's the easiest way I can predict the game."
Though over 2,200 miles away, the Crew's weekend trip to Los Angeles will be a homecoming of sorts for Southern California natives Chad Marshall and Tyson Wahl. Marshall (Riverside) and Wahl (Newport Beach) played youth soccer together and are expecting plenty of friends and family to be in attendance at the Home Depot Center for the Black & Gold's match against Chivas USA on Saturday.
"There will definitely some family and a couple friends at the game," Wahl said on Thursday. "It's always nice to go to LA and it would be especially nice to come away with a win."
The Crew hasn't played at the Home Depot Center since 2011, and Marshall is looking forward to playing in front of family once again.
"It'll be nice to have a good group of friends and family there," the veteran defender said. "It'll be cool to get to play in front of them, especially because we didn't get to go out there last year."
Kickoff for Saturday's match is slated for 10:30 p.m. ET and can be found on FOX Sports Ohio.
During a busy weekend that consisted of two matches, and travel from Florida to North Carolina and from North Carolina to Columbus, several Crew players took to Twitter to honor their fallen teammate around the inaugural Kirk Urso Memorial Match. Even players who didn't get the chance to play alongside Urso like Dominic Oduro and Drew Beckie showed their respect.
Here are some of the highlights, 140 characters at a time:

Crew goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum joined Greg Roche of Pitch Pass Tuesday night to dish on the Black & Gold's preseason so far, his pet rabbit Roo and his support for former teammate Robbie Rogers.
Take a few minutes to be entertained by the Crew 'keeper:
Sunday was a regeneration day for the starters from Saturday's 1-0 win over Toronto FC in the Disney Pro Soccer Classic. The tweet below is from Head Athletic Trainer Dave Lagow, showing the players' makeshift recovery setup in Orlando following their weight room session. On Monday the guys will get back into full action.

In some post-training banter on Monday, Crew captain Chad Marshall jokingly asked Tony Tchani to talk in his best American accent.
"Hey mate!" Tchani exclaimed jokingly with his distinct French inflection.
While Tchani's accent sets him appart, the Cameroonian-born midfielder is now an official American citizen. Tchani moved to the U.S. with his mother as a teenager and recently passed his citizenship exam to officially attain a United States passport last week.
Tchani was given studying materials beforehand, but the test to become a U.S. citizen came easy to the 23-year-old midfielder.
"They gave me a book of like 100 practice questions and I was supposed to get six out of 10 right," Tchani said. "I got the first six right and they told me it was over. I got a sheet saying 'Congratulations.' "
It is official!! #ThankGod

Tchani is in his second full season with the Crew and his fourth in MLS.
Columbus' favorite Kiwi Duncan Oughton took some time in the offseason to visit fellow New Zealanders in Europe as well as take in some footy action. So far in his journey, Oughton has visited West Ham United to observe training, watched Arsenal take care of business against Reading before seeing long-time friend, Queens Park Rangers' captain Ryan Nelsen, lead the Hoops in a 2-1 win over Fulham. It was QPR's first win of 2012, so obviously Oughton is a good luck charm at Loftus Road.
Duncan was kind enough to snap a few photos from abroad. Enjoy!
(He apologizes for the blurry ones.)

On a beautiful morning in the Nation's Capital, the Crew began its day with breakfast followed by a team walk through Washington's Dupont Circle neighborhood. The Black & Gold finished their walk with a stretch at a nearby park.
Now, the players will spend the afternoon preparing at the team hotel before heading to RFK Stadium for tonight's pivotal Eastern Conference showdown with D.C. United. The team feels fully prepared for tonight's match, which holds major playoff implications for both sides.
"[Preparation] started Monday for me. It starts early in the week. If you prepare during the week, then the game comes easy," veteran Danny O'Rourke said.
"It's time to relax, and then it's like riding a bike. It all comes naturally."
Photos from this morning's walk can be found below.
With both President Barack Obama and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney hitting the swing state of Ohio hard as Election Day nears, Columbus has been in the national media spotlight. Out on his morning coffee run, CNN's John King tweeted this picture of the digital billboards at the corner of Broad and High:
Times Square??? No- Columbus, OH. Coffee run!instagr.am/p/Qmml5GsLSb/

text: Nov 17, 2012 01:07 Passing on glory Passing on glory Advocate staff photo by TRAVIS SPRADLINGLSU wide receiver Russell Shepard eludes Idaho cornerback Aaron Grymes earlier this season. Despite potential, Shepard never shined Scott rabalais | Advocate sportswriter Nov. 17, 2012 Comments Back in the 1980s, it was Chris Pettaway, a five-star lineman out of Miami who signed with LSU and was affixed with a "can't-miss" label. Pettaway stayed at LSU his entire career but ended up lettering just one season, in 1989. Instead of All-America honors and awards, he was labeled a bust for a generation, a poster child for recruiting expectations run wild. Twenty years later, Russell Shepard signed with LSU as a quarterback out of Cypress Ridge High School in Houston with similar credentials. Everybody's prep All-American, a consensus five-star prospect, Shepard could have gone anywhere. In January 2009, about a month before he signed with the Tigers, Shepard played in the Under Armour All-America Game in Orlando, Fla., where he rubbed shoulder pads with future stars such as Matt Barkley, Manti Te'o, Trent Richardson and LSU teammate Sam Montgomery. The star power didn't rub off on Shepard. Instead, his star faded, and Shepard was relegated to a backup role he never quite escaped, starting just 14 games in four seasons. Last Saturday's game found Shepard working as a backup wide receiver behind sophomore Odell Beckham Jr. and an understudy, change-of-speeds tailback behind freshman Jeremy Hill. Now a senior, Shepard's final game in Tiger Stadium looms Saturday against Ole Miss (2:30 p.m., CBS). And the question remains: At the end of a career of unfulfilled aspirations, did Shepard fail to live up to expectations, or was he set up to fail by a system that set expectations that forever would be beyond his grasp? "Shepard is a prime example of just how inexact of a science projecting high school prospects can be," said Tom Luginbill, an ESPN college football and recruiting analyst. "Shepard has been an enigma. He came in as a dual-threat quarterback that really had no chance of remaining under center and was quickly moved to wide receiver, where most, including us, projected he would end up. Any number of reasons could be applied, but I don't believe he has failed to become a difference maker due to a lack of physical tools." Mike Scarborough, publisher of Rivals.com site TigerBait.com, said a number of factors conspired against Shepard's blocked progression from high school All-American to college star. "The transition from an undersized quarterback who was primarily a runner to wide receiver was not easy," Scarborough said. "Having multiple wide receiver coaches (D.J. McCarthy, Billy Gonzales and Adam Henry) didn't help him, either. "LSU has had its share of Rivals five-star signees that didn't live up to the hype. Chris Davenport and Al Woods are recent defensive linemen that didn't come close to meeting expectations. That's what makes what we do an inexact science. That said, every major college coach wanted Russell Shepard as a signee. There's no denying how dynamic a player he was in high school." Although featured more as a running back in the Tigers' 37-17 win over State — Shepard was LSU's second-leading rusher with eight carries for 33 yards — Shepard's statistics have remained modest. He has six receptions this season for 92 yards, his fewest catches since he had five for 34 yards in 2009. That season, he carried the ball 45 times for 294 yards and two touchdowns. This season, he has 19 carries for 161 yards and a score. Through it all, Shepard has remained upbeat, even able to poke a little fun at himself. "I always tell people I'm the greatest (LSU) quarterback never to throw a pass," he said. "You come to a place like this and you've got a lot of memories, and it's kind of sad. But like I tell everybody: Even with the lack of success I had here throughout the years, or just not living up to certain people's expectations, I wouldn't trade this place. "There's nothing like playing here." Since Shepard arrived at LSU in 2009, the attention and coverage devoted to football recruiting has grown. ESPN.com now has "Recruiting Nation" web pages devoted to 14 schools, including LSU. Most of the coverage focuses breathlessly on which prospects are committed, who is visiting where and where they will sign. Rivals, Scout, 24/7 Sports and numerous independent sites cover the same ground. "It's scary," Shepard said. "When I came out, it was pretty big. It gets bigger and bigger every year. I'm one of the guys to feel the negative side of it, trying to live up to the expectations and different variables and not reaching the expectations others put on me." Luginbill agreed that increased attention and scrutiny can be a burden to high-profile prospects. "They are kids, not grown men," he said. "They have a ton going on in their lives, and some, not all, have the proper support structure to deal with all the attention. It can be daunting and overwhelming. "The pace of the recruiting process can be directly linked to the role of the Internet and has changed things forever. There's no going back now." There's no going back for Shepard, either. Saturday, he will emerge from the tunnel at the north end of Tiger Stadium and run onto the field with his fellow seniors when his name is called, one last moment in the spotlight for a man whom the spotlight shined on brighter than just about anyone four years ago. As expectations go, Shepard believes he will be received warmly by the crowd. Despite the way his career has gone, he always has been a favorite, an underdog to root for while LSU was crushing most every underdog it faced. "I've been received well by the student body, media, fans," said Shepard, who will graduate next month with a degree in communications. "I've been treated just like Patrick Peterson and Tyrann Mathieu here. "LSU is a special place, and I wouldn't change it." Somewhere, Chris Pettaway must be proud.

Install/fr/Guide Installation Funtoo Linux
Funtoo Linux Download/Install
Translations of this document:
- Installation de Funtoo Linux (Français)
- Installation von Funtoo Linux (Deutsch)
- Εγκατάσταση του Funtoo Linux (Ελληνικά)
This document was written to help you install Funtoo Linux on PC-compatible systems, while keeping distracting options regarding system configuration to a minimum.
If you've had previous experience installing Gentoo Linux then a lot of steps will be familiar, but you should still read through as there are a few differences.
If you are installing Funtoo Linux on ARM architecture, please see Funtoo Linux Installation on ARM for notable differences regarding ARM support.
Installation Overview
This is a basic overview of the Funtoo installation process:
- Download and boot the live CD of your choice.
- Prepare your disk.
- Create and mount filesystems.
- Install the Funtoo stage tarball of your choice.
- Chroot into your new system.
- Download the Portage tree.
- Configure your system and network.
- Install a kernel.
- Install a bootloader.
- Complete final steps.
- Reboot and enjoy.
Live CD
Funtoo doesn't provide an "official" Funtoo Live CD. We recommend using the Gentoo-based System Rescue CD as it contains lots of tools and utilities and supports both 32-bit and 64-bit systems. Download it here:
- Download from osuosl.org
- Download from funtoo.org
If using an older version of System Rescue CD, be sure to select the rescue64
kernel at the boot menu if you are installing a 64-bit system. By default, System Rescue CD used to boot in 32-bit mode though the latest version attempts to automatically detect 64-bit processors.
Network Access
Once you have booted System Rescue CD, see if you have Internet access. Internet access is required for installing Funtoo Linux:
# ping www.google.com
PING www.google.com (184.108.40.206) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from den03s10-in-f4.1e100.net (188.8.131.52): icmp_seq=1 ttl=57 time=30.1 ms
If the ping is successful (you see 64 bytes
messages as above,) then your Network is set up. Hit Control-C to stop the ping.
If you need to set up a WiFi connection for Internet access, then this needs to be done using the System Rescue CD graphical environment. Run startx
to start a graphical session:
# startx
Then, use the NetworkManager applet (icon in lower right) to connect to a WiFi network of your choice. Next, open a terminal inside your graphical environment, and you should be able to use the terminal to complete the rest of the steps.
Remote Install
Alternatively, you can log into System Rescue CD over the network via SSH to perform the install from another computer, and this may be more convenient way to install Funtoo Linux.
If you'd like to complete the install remotely, here's how. First, you will need to ensure that System Rescue CD has a functioning network connection. Then, you will need to set a root password for System Rescue CD:
# passwd New password: ******** Retype new password: ******** passwd: password updated successfully #
Once you have typed in a password, you will now need to determine the IP address of System Rescue CD, and then you can use ssh
to connect to it. To determine the IP address currently being used by System Rescue CD, type ifconfig
# ifconfig
One of the interfaces should have an IP address (listed as inet addr:
) from your LAN. You can then connect remotely, from another system on your LAN, to System Rescue CD, and perform steps from the comfort of an existing OS. On your remote system, type the following, replacing 22.214.171.124
with the IP address of System Rescue CD. Connecting from an existing Linux or MacOS system would look something like this:
(remote system) $ ssh email@example.com Password: **********
If you'd like to connect remotely from an existing Microsoft Windows system, you'll need to download an SSH client for Windows, such as PuTTY.
After you've logged in via SSH, you're now connected remotely to System Rescue CD and can perform the installation steps.
Prepare Hard Disk
In this section, we'll learn about the different ways that Funtoo Linux can be installed on -- and boot from -- a hard disk.
In earlier times, there was only one way to boot a PC-compatible computer. All of our desktops and servers had a standard PC BIOS, all our hard drives used Master Boot Records to boot the system, and our hard drives were partitioned into different regions using the MBR partition scheme. That was just how it was done. And we liked it that way!
Then, along came EFI and UEFI, which are new-style firmware designed to boot systems, along with GPT partition tables to define disk partitions on disks larger than 2.2TB. All of the sudden, we had a variety of options for installing and booting Linux systems, turning what once was a one-method-fits-all approach into something a lot more complex.
Let's take a moment to review the options available to you for configuring a hard drive to boot Funtoo Linux. This Install Guide uses, and recommends, the old-school method of BIOS booting and using an MBR. It works and (except for rare cases) is universally supported. There's nothing wrong with it. If your system disk is 2TB or smaller in size, it won't prevent you from using all of your disk's capacity, either.
But, there are some situations where the old-school method isn't optimal. If you have a system disk >2TB in size, then MBR partitions won't allow you to access all your storage. So that's one reason. Another reason is that there are some so-called "PC" systems out there that don't support BIOS booting anymore, and force you to use UEFI to boot. So, out of compassion for people who fall into this predicament, this Install Guide documents UEFI booting too.
Our recommendation is still to go old-school unless you have reason not to. The boot loader we will be using to load the Linux kernel in this guide is called GRUB, so we call this method the BIOS + GRUB (MBR) method. It's the traditional method of setting up a PC-compatible system to boot Linux.
If you need to use UEFI to boot, we recommend not using the MBR at all for booting, as some systems support this, but others don't. Instead, we recommend using UEFI to boot GRUB, which in turn will load Linux. We refer to this method as the UEFI + GRUB (GPT) method.
And yes, there are even more methods, some of which are documented on the Boot Methods page. We used to recommend a BIOS + GRUB (GPT) method but it is not consistently supported across a wide variety of hardware.
The big question is -- which boot method should you use? Here's how to tell.
- Principle 1 - Old School
- If you can reliably boot System Rescue CD and it shows you an initial light blue menu, you are booting the CD using the BIOS, and it's likely that you can thus boot Funtoo Linux using the BIOS. So, go old-school and use BIOS booting, unless you have some reason to use UEFI, such as having a >2.2TB system disk. In that case, see Principle 2, as your system may also support UEFI booting.
- Principle 2 - New School
- If you can reliably boot System Rescue CD and it shows you an initial black and white menu -- congratulations, your system is configured to support UEFI booting. This means that you are ready to install Funtoo Linux to boot via UEFI. Your system may still support BIOS booting, but just be trying UEFI first. You can poke around in your BIOS boot configuration and play with this.
- What's the Big Difference between Old School and New School?
- Here's the deal. If you go with old-school MBR partitions, your
partition will be an ext2 filesystem, and you'll usefdisk
to create your MBR partitions. If you go with new-school GPT partitions and UEFI booting, your/boot
partition will be a vfat filesystem, because this is what UEFI is able to read, and you will usegdisk
to create your GPT partitions. And you'll install GRUB a bit differently. That's about all it comes down to, in case you were curious.
- Also Note
- To install Funtoo Linux to boot via the New School UEFI method, you must boot System Rescue CD using UEFI -- and see an initial black and white screen. Otherwise, UEFI will not be active and you will not be able to set it up!
Some motherboards may appear to support UEFI, but don't. Do your research. For example, the Award BIOS in my Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD7 rev 1.1 has an option to enable UEFI boot for CD/DVD. This is not sufficient for enabling UEFI boot for hard drives and installing Funtoo Linux. UEFI must be supported for both removable media (so you can boot System Rescue CD using UEFI) as well as fixed media (so you can boot your new Funtoo Linux installation.) It turns out that later revisions of this board (rev 3.0) have a new BIOS that fully supports UEFI boot. This may point to a third principle -- know thy hardware.
Old-School (BIOS/MBR) Method
Use this method if you are booting using your BIOS, and if your System Rescue CD initial boot menu was light blue. If you're going to use the new-school method, click here to jump down to UEFI/GPT.
First, it's a good idea to make sure that you've found the correct hard disk to partition. Try this command and verify that /dev/sda
is the disk that you want to partition:
# fdisk -l /dev/sda
Disk /dev/sda: 640.1 GB, 640135028736 bytes, 1250263728 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk label type: gpt
# Start End Size Type Name
1 2048 1250263694 596.2G Linux filesyste Linux filesystem
Now, it's recommended that you erase any existing MBR or GPT partition tables on the disk, which could confuse the system's BIOS at boot time. We do this using sgdisk
This will make any existing partitions inaccessible! You are strongly cautioned and advised to backup any critical data before proceeding.
# sgdisk --zap-all /dev/sda
Creating new GPT entries.
GPT data structures destroyed! You may now partition the disk using fdisk or
other utilities.
This output is also nothing to worry about, as the command still succeded:
*************************************************************** Found invalid GPT and valid MBR; converting MBR to GPT format in memory. ***************************************************************
Now we will use fdisk
to create the MBR partition table and partitions:
# fdisk /dev/sda
Within fdisk
, follow these steps:
Empty the partition table:
Command (m for help): o ↵
Create Partition 1 (boot):
Command (m for help): n ↵ Partition type (default p): ↵ Partition number (1-4, default 1): ↵ First sector: ↵ Last sector: +128M ↵
Create Partition 2 (swap):
Command (m for help): n ↵ Partition type (default p): ↵ Partition number (2-4, default 2): ↵ First sector: ↵ Last sector: +2G ↵ Command (m for help): t ↵ Partition number (1,2, default 2): ↵ Hex code (type L to list all codes): 82 ↵
Create the root partition:
Command (m for help): n ↵ Partition type (default p): ↵ Partition number (3,4, default 3): ↵ First sector: ↵ Last sector: ↵
Verify the partition table:
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/sda: 298.1 GiB, 320072933376 bytes, 625142448 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x82abc9a6

/dev/sda3 4458496 625142447 310341976 83 Linux
Write the parition table to disk:
Command (m for help): w
Your new MBR partition table will now be written to your system disk.
You're done with partitioning! Now, jump over to Creating filesystems.
New-School (UEFI/GPT) Method
Use this method if you are booting using UEFI, and if your System Rescue CD initial boot menu was black and white. If it was light blue, this method will not work.
The gdisk commands to create a GPT partition table are as follows. Adapt sizes as necessary, although these defaults will work for most users. Start gdisk
# gdisk /dev/sda
Within gdisk, follow these steps:
Create a new empty partition table (This will erase all data on the disk when saved):
Command: o ↵ This option deletes all partitions and creates a new protective MBR. Proceed? (Y/N): y ↵
Create Partition 1 (boot):
Command: n ↵ Partition Number: 1 ↵ First sector: ↵ Last sector: +500M ↵ Hex Code: EF00 ↵
Create Partition 2 (swap):
Command: n ↵ Partition Number: 2 ↵ First sector: ↵ Last sector: +4G ↵ Hex Code: 8200 ↵
Create Partition 3 (root):
Command: n ↵ Partition Number: 3 ↵ First sector: ↵ Last sector: ↵ (for rest of disk) Hex Code: ↵
Along the way, you can type "p" and hit Enter to view your current partition table. If you make a mistake, you can type "d" to delete an existing partition that you created. When you are satisfied with your partition setup, type "w" to write your configuration to disk:
Write Partition Table To Disk:
Command: w ↵ Do you want to proceed? (Y/N): Y ↵
The partition table will now be written to disk and gdisk will close.
Now, your GPT/GUID partitions have been created, and will show up as the following block devices under Linux:
- /dev/sda1, which will be used to hold the /boot filesystem,
- /dev/sda2, which will be used for swap space, and
- /dev/sda3, which will hold your root filesystem.
Creating filesystems
This section covers both BIOS and UEFI installs. Don't skip it!
Before your newly-created partitions can be used, the block devices need to be initialized with filesystem metadata. This process is known as creating a filesystem on the block devices. After filesystems are created on the block devices, they can be mounted and used to store files.
Let's keep this simple. Are you using old-school MBR partitions? If so, let's create an ext2 filesystem on /dev/sda1:
# mkfs.ext2 /dev/sda1
If you're using new-school GPT partitions for UEFI, you'll want to create a vfat filesystem on /dev/sda1, because this is what UEFI is able to read:
# mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/sda1
Now, let's create a swap partition. This partition will be used as disk-based virtual memory for your Funtoo Linux system.
You will not create a filesystem on your swap partition, since it is not used to store files. But it is necessary to initialize it using the mkswap
command. Then we'll run the swapon
command to make your newly-initialized swap space immediately active within the live CD environment, in case it is needed during the rest of the install process:
# mkswap /dev/sda2 # swapon /dev/sda2
Now, we need to create a root filesystem. This is where Funtoo Linux will live. We generally recommend ext4 or XFS root filesystems. If you're not sure, choose ext4. Here's how to create a root ext4 filesystem:
# mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda3
...and here's how to create an XFS root filesystem, if you choose to use XFS:
# mkfs.xfs /dev/sda3
Your filesystems (and swap) have all now been initialized, so that that can be mounted (attached to your existing directory heirarchy) and used to store files. We are ready to begin installing Funtoo Linux on these brand-new filesystems.
When deploying an OpenVZ host, please use ext4 exclusively. The Parallels development team tests extensively with ext4, and modern versions of openvz-rhel6-stable
are not compatible with XFS, and you may experience kernel bugs.
Mounting filesystems
Mount the newly-created filesystems as follows, creating /mnt/funtoo
as the installation mount point:
# mkdir /mnt/funtoo # mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/funtoo # mkdir /mnt/funtoo/boot # mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/funtoo/boot
Optionally, if you have a separate filesystem for /home
or anything else:
# mkdir /mnt/funtoo/home # mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/funtoo/home
If you have /tmp
or /var/tmp
on a separate filesystem, be sure to change the permissions of the mount point to be globally-writeable after mounting, as follows:
# chmod 1777 /mnt/funtoo/tmp
Setting the Date
If your system's date and time are too far off (typically by months or years,) then it may prevent Portage from properly downloading source tarballs. This is because some of our sources are downloaded via HTTPS, which use SSL certificates and are marked with an activation and expiration date. However, if you system time is relatively close to correct, you can probably skip this step for now.
Now is a good time to verify the date and time are correctly set to UTC. Use the date
command to verify the date and time:
# date
Fri Jul 15 19:47:18 UTC 2011
If the date and/or time need to be corrected, do so using date MMDDhhmmYYYY
, keeping in mind hhmm
are in 24-hour format. The example below changes the date and time to "July 16th, 2011 @ 8:00PM" UTC:
# date 071620002011
Fri Jul 16 20:00:00 UTC 2011
Once you have set the system clock, it's a very good idea to copy the time to the hardware clock, so it persists across reboots:
# hwclock --systohc
Installing the Stage 3 tarball
Now that filesystems are created and your hardware and system clock are set, the next step is downloading the initial Stage 3 tarball. The Stage 3 is a pre-compiled system used as a starting point to install Funtoo Linux.
To download the correct build of Funtoo Linux for your system, head over to the Subarches page. Subarches are builds of Funtoo Linux that are designed to run on a particular type of CPU, to offer the best possible performance. They also take advantage of the instruction sets available for each CPU.
The Subarches page lists all CPU-optimized versions of Funtoo Linux. Find the one that is appropriate for the type of CPU that your system has, and then click on its name in the first column (such as corei7
, for example.) You will then go to a page dedicated to that subarch, and the available stage3's available for download will be listed.
For most subarches, you will have several stage3's available to choose from. This next section will help you understand which one to pick.
Which Build?
If you're not sure, pick funtoo-current
Funtoo Linux has various different 'builds':
Build | Description |
funtoo-current | The most commonly-selected build of Funtoo Linux. Receives rapid updates and preferred by desktop users. |
funtoo-stable | Emphasizes less-frequent package updates and trusted, reliable versions of packages over the latest versions. |
Which Variant?
If you're not sure, pick standard
Besides our "regular" stage3's listed with a variant of standard
, the following variant builds are available:
Variant | Description |
standard | The "standard" version of Funtoo Linux |
pure64 | A 64-bit build that drops multilib (32-bit compatibility) support. Can be ideal for server systems. |
hardened | Includes PIE/SSP toolchain for enhanced security. PIE does require the use of PaX in the kernel, while SSP works with any kernel, and provides enhanced security in user-space to avoid stack-based exploits. |
Download the Stage3
Once you have found the stage3 that you would like to download, use wget
to download the Stage 3 tarball you have chosen to use as the basis for your new Funtoo Linux system. It should be saved to the /mnt/funtoo
directory as follows:
# cd /mnt/funtoo # wget http://build.funtoo.org/funtoo-current/x86-64bit/generic_64/stage3-latest.tar.xz
Note that 64-bit systems can run 32-bit or 64-bit stages, but 32-bit systems can only run 32-bit stages. Make sure that you select a Stage 3 build that is appropriate for your CPU. If you are not certain, it is a safe bet to choose the generic_64
or generic_32
stage. Consult the Subarches page for more information.
Once the stage is downloaded, extract the contents with the following command, substituting in the actual name of your stage 3 tarball:
# tar xpf stage3-latest.tar.xz
It is very important to use tar's
" option when extracting the Stage 3 tarball - it tells tar
to preserve any permissions and ownership that exist within the archive. Without this option, your Funtoo Linux filesystem permissions will be incorrect.
Chroot into Funtoo
Before chrooting into your new system, there's a few things that need to be done first. You will need to mount /proc and /dev inside your new system. Use the following commands:
# cd /mnt/funtoo # mount -t proc none proc # mount --rbind /sys sys # mount --rbind /dev dev
You'll also want to copy over resolv.conf
in order to have proper DNS name resolution from inside the chroot:
# cp /etc/resolv.conf etc
Now you can chroot into your new system. Use env
before chroot
to ensure that no environment variables from the installation media are used by your new system:
# env -i HOME=/root TERM=$TERM chroot . bash -l
Users of live CDs with 64-bit kernels installing 32-bit systems: Some software may use uname -r
to check whether the system is 32 or 64-bit. You may want append linux32 to the chroot command as a workaround, but it's generally not needed.
If you receive the error "chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error
", it is probably because you are running a 32-bit kernel and trying to execute 64-bit code. SystemRescueCd boots with a 32-bit kernel by default.
It's also a good idea to change the default command prompt while inside the chroot. This will avoid confusion if you have to change terminals. Use this command:
# export PS1="(chroot) $PS1"
Congratulations! You are now chrooted inside a Funtoo Linux system. Now it's time to get Funtoo Linux properly configured so that Funtoo Linux will boot successfully when your system is restarted.
Downloading the Portage tree
For an alternative way to do this, see Installing Portage From Snapshot.
Now it's time to install a copy of the Portage repository, which contains package scripts (ebuilds) that tell portage how to build and install thousands of different software packages. To create the Portage repository, simply run emerge --sync
from within the chroot. This will automatically clone the portage tree from GitHub:
(chroot) # emerge --sync
If you receive the error with initial emerge --sync
due to git protocol restrictions, change SYNC
variable in /etc/portage/make.conf
Configuring your system
As is expected from a Linux distribution, Funtoo Linux has its share of configuration files. The one file you are absolutely required to edit in order to ensure that Funtoo Linux boots successfully is /etc/fstab
. The others are optional.
Using Nano
The default editor included in the chroot environment is called nano
. To edit one of the files below, call nano as follows:
(chroot) # nano /etc/fstab
When in the editor, you can use arrow keys to move the cursor, and common keys like backspace and delete will work as expected. To save the file, press Control-X, and answer y
when prompted to save the modified buffer if you would like to save your changes.
Configuration Files
Here are a full list of files that you may want to edit, depending on your needs:
File | Do I need to change it? | Description |
/etc/fstab |
YES - required | Mount points for all filesystems to be used at boot time. This file must reflect your disk partition setup. We'll guide you through modifying this file below. |
/etc/localtime |
Maybe - recommended | Your timezone, which will default to UTC if not set. This should be a symbolic link to something located under /usr/share/zoneinfo (e.g. /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Montreal) |
/etc/make.conf (symlink) - also known as:/etc/portage/make.conf |
Maybe - recommended | Parameters used by gcc (compiler), portage, and make. It's a good idea to set MAKEOPTS. This is covered later in this document. |
/etc/conf.d/hostname |
Maybe - recommended | Used to set system hostname. Set the hostname variable to the fully-qualified (with dots, ie. foo.funtoo.org ) name if you have one. Otherwise, set to the local system hostname (without dots, ie. foo ). Defaults to localhost if not set. |
/etc/hosts |
No | You no longer need to manually set the hostname in this file. This file is automatically generated by /etc/init.d/hostname . |
/etc/conf.d/keymaps |
Optional | Keyboard mapping configuration file (for console pseudo-terminals). Set if you have a non-US keyboard. See Funtoo Linux Localization. |
/etc/conf.d/hwclock |
Optional | How the time of the battery-backed hardware clock of the system is interpreted (UTC or local time). Linux uses the battery-backed hardware clock to initialize the system clock when the system is booted. |
/etc/conf.d/modules |
Optional | Kernel modules to load automatically at system startup. Typically not required. See Additional Kernel Resources for more info. |
/etc/conf.d/consolefont |
Optional | Allows you to specify the default console font. To apply this font, enable the consolefont service by running rc-update add consolefont. |
profiles |
Optional | Some useful portage settings that may help speed up intial configuration. |
If you're installing an English version of Funtoo Linux, you're in luck as most of the configuration files can be used as-is. If you're installing for another locale, don't worry. We will walk you through the necessary configuration steps on the Funtoo Linux Localization page, and if needed, there's always plenty of friendly, helpful support. (See Community)
Let's go ahead and see what we have to do. Use nano -w <name_of_file>
to edit files -- the "-w
" disables word-wrapping, which is handy when editing configuration files. You can copy and paste from the examples.
It's important to edit your /etc/fstab
file before you reboot! You will need to modify both the "fs" and "type" columns to match the settings for your partitions and filesystems that you created with gdisk
or fdisk
. Skipping this step may prevent Funtoo Linux from booting successfully.
is used by the mount
command which is ran when your system boots. Statements of this file inform mount
about partitions to be mounted and how they are mounted. In order for the system to boot properly, you must edit /etc/fstab
and ensure that it reflects the partition configuration you used earlier:
(chroot) # nano -w /etc/fstab
# The root filesystem should have a pass number of either 0 or 1. # All other filesystems should have a pass number of 0 or greater than 1. # # NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts. # # See the manpage fstab(5) for more information. # # <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump/pass> /dev/sda1 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2 /dev/sda2 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/sda3 / ext4 noatime 0 1 #/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,ro 0 0
Currently, our default /etc/fstab
has the root filesystem as /dev/sda4
and the swap partition as /dev/sda3
. These will need to be changed to /dev/sda3
and /dev/sda2
, respectively.
If you're using UEFI to boot, change the /dev/sda1
line so it says vfat
instead of ext2
. Similarly, make sure that the /dev/sda3
line specifies either xfs
or ext4
, depending on which filesystem you chose at filesystem-creation time.
is used to specify the timezone that your machine is in, and defaults to UTC. If you would like your Funtoo Linux system to use local time, you should replace /etc/localtime
with a symbolic link to the timezone that you wish to use.
(chroot) # ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/MST7MDT /etc/localtime
The above sets the timezone to Mountain Standard Time (with daylight savings). Type ls /usr/share/zoneinfo
to see what timezones are available. There are also sub-directories containing timezones described by location.
MAKEOPTS can be used to define how many parallel compilations should occur when you compile a package, which can speed up compilation significantly. A rule of thumb is the number of CPUs (or CPU threads) in your system plus one. If for example you have a dual core processor without hyper-threading, then you would set MAKEOPTS to 3:
If you are unsure about how many processors/threads you have then use nproc to help you.
(chroot) # nproc
Set MAKEOPTS to this number plus one:
USE flags define what functionality is enabled when packages are built. It is not recommended to add a lot of them during installation; you should wait until you have a working, bootable system before changing your USE flags. A USE flag prefixed with a minus ("-
") sign tells Portage not to use the flag when compiling. A Funtoo guide to USE flags will be available in the future. For now, you can find out more information about USE flags in the Gentoo Handbook.
LINGUAS tells Portage which local language to compile the system and applications in (those who use LINGUAS variable like OpenOffice). It is not usually necessary to set this if you use English. If you want another language such as French (fr) or German (de), set LINGUAS appropriately:
If you dual-boot with Windows, you'll need to edit this file and change the value of clock from UTC to local, because Windows will set your hardware clock to local time every time you boot Windows. Otherwise you normally wouldn't need to edit this file.
(chroot) # nano -w /etc/conf.d/hwclock
By default, Funtoo Linux is configured with Unicode (UTF-8) enabled, and for the US English locale and keyboard. If you would like to configure your system to use a non-English locale or keyboard, see Funtoo Linux Localization.
Introducing Portage
Portage, the Funtoo Linux package manager has a command called emerge
which is used to build and install packages from source. It also takes care of installing all of the package's dependencies. You call emerge like this:
(chroot) # emerge packagename
When you install a package by specifying its name in the command-line, Portage records its name in the /var/lib/portage/world
file. It does so because it assumes that, since you have installed it by name, you want to consider it part of your system and want to keep the package updated in the future. This is a handy feature, since when packages are being added to the world
set, we can update our entire system by typing:
(chroot) # emerge --sync (chroot) # emerge -auDN @world
This is the "official" way to update your Funtoo Linux system. Above, we first update our Portage tree using git to grab the latest ebuilds (scripts), and then run an emerge command to update the world
set of packages. The options specified tell emerge
- show us what will be emerged, and ask us if we want to proceed -
- update the packages we specify -- don't emerge them again if they are already emerged. -
- Consider the entire dependency tree of packages when looking for updates. In other words, do a deep update. -
- Update any packages that have changed (new) USE settings.
You should also consider passing --with-bdeps=y
when emerging @world, at least once in a while. This will update build dependencies as well.
Of course, sometimes we want to install a package but not add it to the world
file. This is often done because you only want the package installed temporarily or because you know the package in question is a dependnecy of another package. If this behavior is desired, you call emerge like this:
(chroot) # emerge -1 packagename
Advanced users may be interested in the Emerge wiki page.
Updating World
Now is actually a very good time to update the entire system and it can be a good idea to do so prior to first boot.
(chroot) # emerge --sync (chroot) # emerge -auDN @world
Make sure you read any post emerge messages and follow their instructions. This is especially true if you have upgraded perl or python.
Configuring and installing the Linux kernel
Now it's time to build and install a Linux kernel, which is the heart of any Funtoo Linux system. The kernel is loaded by the boot loader, and interfaces directly with your system's hardware, and allows regular (userspace) programs to run.
A kernel must be configured properly for your system's hardware, so that it supports your hard drives, file systems, network cards, and so on. More experienced Linux users can choose to install kernel sources and configure and install their own kernel. If you don't know how to do this, we provide ebuilds that will automatically build a "univeral" kernel, modules and initramfs for booting your system that supports all hardware. This is an extremely simple way of building a kernel that will get your system booted.
What is our goal? To build a kernel that will recognize all the hardware in your system necessary for booting, so that you will be greeted by a friendly login prompt after installation is complete. These instructions will guide you through the process of installing a kernel the "easy" way -- without requiring user configuration, by using a "universal" kernel.
Package Sets
Before we install a kernel, we're going to cover a feature of Portage called package sets. Portage, the package manager/ports system for Funtoo Linux, will keep track of system packages as well as packages you have installed by calling emerge
directly. These packages that are part of the base system are considered part of the "system" package set, while packages that you have installed by typing them on the command line (such as "gnome" in emerge gnome
) will be added to the "world" package set. This provides an easy way to update your entire system.
However, sometimes it's nice to be able to update the kernel all by itself, or leave a kernel update out of your regular whole system update. To do this, we will create a new package set called "kernel".
Kernel Package Set
To create the kernel package set, perform the following steps:
(chroot) # mkdir /etc/portage/sets (chroot) # echo sys-kernel/debian-sources > /etc/portage/sets/kernel
Now, we'll want to set a USE variable to tell debian-sources
to build a "universal" kernel and initramfs for us, to take the guess-work out of getting Funtoo Linux booted. To do this, we're going to set the binary
USE variable for debian-sources
, as follows:
(chroot) # echo "sys-kernel/debian-sources binary" >> /etc/portage/package.use
If USE variables are new to you, you'll be getting a lot more familiar with them as you use Funtoo Linux. At their essence, they are "switches" that you can set to configure options that can be built in to various packages. They're used to customize your Funtoo Linux system to meet your exact needs. We added support for a binary
USE flag to the debian-sources
ebuilds, as well as a few other of our kernel ebuilds, to make it easier for new users to get Funtoo Linux up and running.
Now, when we just want to update our system's packages, we'll type emerge -auDN @world
, and it will update our world set, leaving out the kernel. Likewise, when we just want to update our kernel, we'll type emerge -au @kernel
, and it will update our kernel, leaving out the world set.
Building the Kernel
See Funtoo Linux Kernels for a full list of kernels supported in Funtoo Linux. We recommend debian-sources
for new users.
with binary
USE flag requires at least 14GB free in /var/tmp
and takes around 1 hour to build on a Intel Core i7 Processor.
Let's emerge our kernel:
(chroot) # emerge -1 @kernel
Right now, the -1
option is required to not add our @kernel
set to world-sets
. This allows you to emerge it independently from @world. If you forget to use this option, edit /var/lib/portage/world-sets
and remove the @kernel
line. This will prevent kernel updates from being included in @world updates.
Note that while use of the binary
USE flag makes installing a working kernel extremely simple, it is one part of Funtoo Linux that takes a very long time to build from source, because it is building a kernel that supports all hardware that Linux supports! So, get the build started, and then let your machine compile. Slower machines can take up to several hours to build the kernel, and you'll want to make sure that you've set MAKEOPTS
in /etc/portage/make.conf
to the number of processing cores/threads (plus one) in your system before starting to build it as quickly as possible -- see the /etc/portage/make.conf section if you forgot to do this.
NVIDIA card users: the binary
USE flag installs the Nouveau drivers which cannot be loaded at the same time as the proprietary drivers, and cannot be unloaded at runtime because of KMS. You need to blacklist it under /etc/modprobe.d/
For an overview of other kernel options for Funtoo Linux, see Funtoo Linux Kernels. There may be modules that the Debian kernel doesn't include, a situation where genkernel would be useful. Also be sure to see hardware compatibility information.
Once emerge
completes, you'll have a brand new kernel and initramfs installed to /boot
, plus kernel headers installed in /usr/src/linux
, and you'll be ready to configure the boot loader to load these to boot your Funtoo Linux system.
Installing a Bootloader
These install instructions show you how to use GRUB to boot using BIOS (old-school) or UEFI (new-school). As of boot-update-1.7.2, now in Portage, the steps are very similar.
First, emerge boot-update
. This will also cause grub-2
and efibootmgr
to be merged, since they are dependencies:
(chroot) # emerge boot-update
Then, edit /etc/boot.conf
using nano
and specify "Funtoo Linux genkernel
" as the default
setting at the top of the file, replacing "Funtoo Linux"
should now look like this:
boot { generate grub default "Funtoo Linux genkernel" timeout 3 } "Funtoo Linux" { kernel bzImage[-v] } "Funtoo Linux genkernel" { kernel kernel[-v] initrd initramfs[-v] params += real_root=auto } "Funtoo Linux better-initramfs" { kernel vmlinuz[-v] initrd /initramfs.cpio.gz }
If you are booting a custom or non-default kernel, please read man boot.conf
for information on the various options available to you.
Old School (BIOS) MBR
When using "old school" BIOS booting, run the following command to install GRUB to your MBR, and generate the /boot/grub/grub.cfg
configuration file that GRUB will use for booting:
(chroot) # grub-install --target=i386-pc --no-floppy /dev/sda (chroot) # boot-update
New School (UEFI) Boot Entry
If you're using "new school" UEFI booting, run of the following sets of commands, depending on whether you are installing a 64-bit or 32-bit system. This will add GRUB as a UEFI boot entry.
For x86-64bit systems:
(chroot) # grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot --bootloader-id="Funtoo Linux [GRUB]" --recheck /dev/sda (chroot) # boot-update
For x86-32bit systems:
(chroot) # grub-install --target=i386-efi --efi-directory=/boot --bootloader-id="Funtoo Linux [GRUB]" --recheck /dev/sda (chroot) # boot-update
First Boot, and in the future...
OK -- you are ready to boot!
You only need to run grub-install
when you first install Funtoo Linux, but you need to re-run boot-update
every time you modify your /etc/boot.conf
file or add new kernels to your system. This will regenerate /boot/grub/grub.cfg
so that you will have new kernels available in your GRUB boot menu, the next time you reboot.
Configuring your network
It's important to ensure that you will be able to connect to your local-area network after you reboot into Funtoo Linux. There are three approaches you can use for configuring your network: NetworkManager, dhcpcd, and the Funtoo Linux Networking scripts. Here's how to choose which one to use based on the type of network you want to set up.
Using NetworkManager
For laptop/mobile systems where you will be using Wi-Fi and connecting to various networks, NetworkManager is strongly recommended. The Funtoo version of NetworkManager is fully functional even from the command-line, so you can use it even without X or without the Network Manager applet. Here are the steps involved in setting up NetworkManager:
(chroot) # emerge linux-firmware (chroot) # emerge networkmanager (chroot) # rc-update add NetworkManager default
Above, we installed linux-firmware which contains a complete collection of available firmware for many hardware devices including Wi-Fi adapters, plus NetworkManager to manage our network connection. Then we added NetworkManager to the default
runlevel so it will start when Funtoo Linux boots.
After you reboot into Funtoo Linux, you will be able to add a Wi-Fi connection this way:
The following command will not work as long as you are in chroot environment. The reason for this is that addwifi will need dbus and rfkill to be set up. So don't forget to reboot!
# addwifi -S wpa -K 'wifipassword' mywifinetwork
The addwifi
command is used to configure and connect to a WPA/WPA2 Wi-Fi network named mywifinetwork
with the password wifipassword
. This network configuration entry is stored in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections
so that it will be remembered in the future. You should only need to enter this command once for each Wi-Fi network you connect to.
Using wpa_supplicant
If for some reason you don't want to use a tool such as NetworkManager or wicd
, you can use wpa_supplicant for wireless network connections.
First, emerge wpa_supplicant:
(chroot) # emerge linux-firmware (chroot) # emerge -a wpa_supplicant
Now, edit the wpa_supplicant configuration file, located at /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf. The syntax is very easy:
network={ ssid="MyWifiName" psk="lol42-wifi" } network={ ssid="Other Network" psk="6d96270004515a0486bb7f76196a72b40c55a47f" }
You will need to add both wpa_supplicant
and dhcpcd
to the default runlevel. wpa_supplicant
will connect to your access point, and dhcpcd
will acquire an IP address via DHCP:
(chroot) # rc-update add dhcpcd default (chroot) # rc-update add wpa_supplicant default
Desktop (Wired Ethernet)
For a home desktop or workstation with wired Ethernet that will use DHCP, the simplest and most effective option to enable network connectivity is to simply add dhcpcd
to the default runlevel:
(chroot) # rc-update add dhcpcd default
When you reboot, dhcpcd
will run in the background and manage all network interfaces and use DHCP to acquire network addresses from a DHCP server.
Server (Static IP)
For servers, the Funtoo Linux Networking scripts are recommended. They are optimized for static configurations and things like virtual ethernet bridging for virtualization setups. See Funtoo Linux Networking for information on how to use Funtoo Linux's template-based network configuration system.
Finishing Steps
Set your root password
It's imperative that you set your root password before rebooting so that you can log in.
(chroot) # passwd
Restart your system
Now is the time to leave chroot, to unmount Funtoo Linux partitions and files and to restart your computer. When you restart, the GRUB boot loader will start, load the Linux kernel and initramfs, and your system will begin booting.
Leave the chroot, change directory to /mnt, unmount your Funtoo partitions, and reboot.
(chroot) # exit # cd /mnt # umount -l funtoo # reboot
System Rescue CD will gracefully unmount your new Funtoo filesystems as part of its normal shutdown sequence.
You should now see your system reboot, the GRUB boot loader appear for a few seconds, and then see the Linux kernel and initramfs loading. After this, you should see Funtoo Linux itself start to boot, and you should be greeted with a login:
prompt. Funtoo Linux has been successfully installed!
Once you have rebooted into Funtoo Linux, you can further customize your system to your needs by using Funtoo Profiles.
Funtoo profiles are used to define defaults for Portage specific to your needs. There are five basic profile types: arch, build, subarch, flavor, and mix-ins:
- arch
- typically
, this defines the processor type and support of your system. This is defined when your stage was built and should not be changed. - build
- defines whether your system is a
systems will have newer packages unmasked thanstable
systems. This is defined when your stage is built and is typically not changed. - subarch
- Defines optimizations for your CPU. The subarch is set at the time the stage3 is built, but can be changed later to better settings if necessary. Be sure to pick a setting that is compatible with your CPU.
- flavor
- defines the general type of system, such as
, and will set default USE flags appropriate for your needs. - mix-ins
- define various optional settings that you may be interested in enabling.
One arch, build and flavor must be set for each Funtoo Linux system, while mix-ins are optional and you can enable more than one if desired.
Remember that profiles can often be inherited. For example, the desktop
flavor inherits the workstation
flavor settings, which in turn inherits the X
and audio
mix-ins. You can view this by using epro
(chroot) # # epro show === Enabled Profiles: === arch: x86-64bit build: current subarch: intel64-haswell flavor: desktop mix-ins: gnome === All inherited flavors from desktop flavor: === workstation (from desktop flavor) core (from workstation flavor) minimal (from core flavor) === All inherited mix-ins from desktop flavor: === X (from workstation flavor) audio (from workstation flavor) dvd (from workstation flavor) media (from workstation flavor) mediadevice-audio-consumer (from media mix-in) mediadevice-base (from mediadevice-audio-consumer mix-in) mediadevice-video-consumer (from media mix-in) mediadevice-base (from mediadevice-video-consumer mix-in) mediaformat-audio-common (from media mix-in) mediaformat-gfx-common (from media mix-in) mediaformat-video-common (from media mix-in) console-extras (from workstation flavor) print (from desktop flavor)
To view available profiles:
(chroot) # epro list
Enabled profiles will be highlighted in cyan. Directly enabled profiles will be in bold and have a *
To change the profile flavor:
(chroot) # epro flavor desktop
To add a mix-in:
(chroot) # epro mix-in +gnome

The refrigerator may be the most important appliance in your home. There are many different models to choose from at Appliances Connection, including top freezer models, compact refrigeration, side-by-side fridges, and French-Door refrigerators, in a variety of colors, sizes, and price.
Appliances Connection carries top brands in refrigeration, like Frigidaire, GE, and Samsung. If you have any questions or need help choosing the right fridge or freezer for your home, contact us at 800-299-9470.
While family size and lifestyle is important in choosing which refrigerator is right for you, here are a few factors to consider before purchasing:
How much storage do you need? Besides width and height, analyze your eating habits. Do you host people frequently? Or do you eat out most nights? For the best comparison, the average family of four uses around 18 to 25 cubic feet of refrigeration.
There is a wide range of styles of refrigerators to choose from, each with advantages and disadvantages.
Top Freezer Refrigerator: If you are looking for a discount refrigeration, a top freezer model would be your best bet. Its compact size is perfect for a smaller home or apartment and is the most common in households.
Size-by-Side Refrigerator: Modern and stylish with a great amount of storage; however, shelving can be narrow. Generally, the fridge takes up two-thirds of the space.
Bottom Freezer Refrigerator: Bottom freezer refrigerators are perfect for a person looking for the maximum level of convenience. While it�s designed to limit the need to bend over for the most-used food item, the drawer-like function of the freezer can lead to frozen storage issues.
French Door Refrigerators: Similar to a bottom freezer model, except the doors open from the center. Appealing and complementary for most kitchen designs, it�s not hard to see why it�s the current trend in refrigeration.
Today�s refrigerators don�t just keep your food fresh; they have features like water dispensing and moisture control. Additionally, many models now have adjustable and spill-proof shelving.
The more efficient your refrigerator is, the less it costs to operate � and the more money in your pocket. Models such as ENERGY STAR� refrigerators consume almost 40 percent less energy than a standard refrigerator.
Appliances Connection offers free nationwide in-home delivery, no sales tax, and full manufacturer warranties on all brand new refrigerators. We can even haul your old fridge away.

It sucks for the rest of the west, Dwight changes everything, plus nash setting him up, its bad news. Dwight got what he wanted like a little cry baby throwing tamper tantrums, so much for players playing out their contracts
I just don't get it, I mean those pieces Magic are getting are pretty much horrible. Both Iguodala and Bynum were involved in the trade, and yet the Magic didn't want either. I just don't see how this gave them something valuable in return for the best center in the game today.
Is there some kind of a rule that says people become retarded all of a sudden when the Lakers are also involved in a trade? |
Bogut still can make all star team since Bynum's in the east now. His biggest competition for a backup role would be Marc Gasol probably.
LOL @ Magic. Wowww. Uh who'd they get? I can't see anyone. Cap space? Dwight Howard for cap space? Picks? Which can be as unknown as it gets. Idk why they didn't 't take back Bynum - at least he'ss someone to build around and they could at least attempt to resign him. They got nothing as far as a known commodity or proven player. If I were a Magic fan I'd be pissssed. They've drafted Shaq and Dwight and got hardly anything of substance in return when they left. Then again maybe they are going the Nets route of gutting the roster, collecting picks, with a ton of cap space for FA, etc. Still, it's a hard pill to swallow that the best center in the world supposedly can't even bring an all star back in return... Iggy might make the Nuggets better, we'll have to wait n see. I still think W's will have a better record than them. Lakers have become scary good, but good news is 1) Nash, Kobe, Gasol, Artest/WP are getting older 2) Lee/Bogut can at least keep us somewhat competitive where as before we had small ball vs giants 3) Heat will be in trouble |
And I'm reading on the Orlando message board now that there are some people there that are actually defending this trade, and calling other fans ignorant because they can't understand how good this trade is. Mind boggling.
They pretty much didn't get anything...they could have done that anytime, what is it here that some people might like? They didn't get an all-star caliber player in return, those picks are risky at best, and they still have Hedo's, Big Baby's and Quentin's big contracts on their hands. If they wanted to tank so badly, and gut their roster, why did they re-sign Jameer? So many weird things they did that you have to scratch your had over it. And why would they pass on a second best center in the league? He's young, and they would get someone to at least build around with other pieces. This way it looks like that Iguodala brought a lot more in return for the Sixers than Dwight did for the Magic. And for those people saying that you can't get better than this, and that this trade is somehow good, that people are just too blind to see it...just look at the trade Denver did when they traded Melo. They didn't fall off the map completely, they got some new, young pieces, and stayed competitive. Heck, they played Lakers to the 7th game this last season. Hennigan did a really bad job, in my opinion...really bad job. |
Well frankly that totally sucks! Just read about it and how nice that the damn Lakers get Howard...The Lakers of all teams, this is a nightmare! I hope the league nullifies this deal out of pity for the Magic's stupidity. Granted, Dwight has been wanting out of there for ages and that knowledge pretty much destroys any leverage they migth've have had. How did they NOT get Bynum? Al Harrington? What is he going to do to make up for Howard being gone? So great, the Lakers are going to be ultra good and the rest of the West is going to have a tough time competing with them. I'm getting a headache thinking about how good just Nash and Howard will be together, much less Kobe and the rest of the Lakers. Of course it'll be interesting to see if Howard can keep his motivation together and play consistently well. Maybe he'll have more back problems. If he doesn't miss any games because of that I'm going to laugh! Can you say the diva was dogging it?! I used to love the way the guy plays but the aw shucks/goofy personality while he's getting Van Gundy fired and causing a firestorm in the franchise doesn't fly. However, I AM looking forward to seeing Bogut and a healthy Curry along with the rest of the Warriors squad do better next year. Now to try to get my head around Howard being a Laker....
Anything less then 65 regular season wins or a trip to the NBA FINALS is a failure for the Lakers (I think the Lakers could still be pushed to 7 games by the Thunder because of OKC depth)
Wow!!! What are the Magic thinking? Why wouldn't they take Bynum? Even Lopez and Humphries would've been better than the junk that they got.
Magic FO pathetic. I always believe in getting the most you can for any player, let alone a superstar. I would have gotten Iguodala and one of the Centers from the 76ers and that'd have been alright. Magic deserve to fail here.
Lakers are great again, but they have everything to prove. It will only last two or three years as well, as Nash is close to retiring and Kobe some four years away as well. It won't last long in Laker land, but if they can keep Dwight, they'll likely attract more great players. The mighty Lakers do it again and remain a top team. migya make the ring fall on ya |

This league once again shows its incompetence. 4 teams controlling the other 26. Look at how many teams won championships since 1976. The NBA has, by far, the fewest teams compared to Baseball or Football. Baseball doesn't even have a salary cap.
The NBA should stop kidding with itself, take out the salary cap, and do it like europe. These super teams will continue to exist, but at least it won't be lying that all 30 teams have an equal shot each year. |
Looking at the trade, Orlando didn't do well, but they got Arron Afflalo and forward Al Harrington from Denver and both those guys can contribute, it's whether they are in the logterm plans of the Magic that is the thing. Harrington likely isn't it, but Afflalo should be and he is a top 10 SG I think, Forward Moe Harkless and center Nikola Vucevic from Philadelphia, and forward Josh McRoberts and guard Christian Eyenga from the Lakers. Harkless and McRoberts could be kept and they could be good backups. If Orlando gets a top 3 pick next draft, they could be a playoff team again.
The Magic get a second-round draft pick from Denver next year, a first-round pick from either Denver or New York in 2014, a conditional first-round pick from Philadelphia and a conditional second-round pick from the Lakers in 2015, and a conditional first-round pick from the Lakers in 2017. No high draft pick, so are real faliure with that. Orlando also will have a $17.8 million trade exception to use over the next year. It's this that cuold be the key, because if the Magic could land a great player with this money, best case scenario would Bynum says he won't resign with Philly but would with Orlando and they use this TE to get him. Not a good trade for Orlando, but they have the chance to pull something off with this and have a good team again. migya make the ring fall on ya |
I posted this in the TRADES thread a few hours ago I know this may seem like a blow to our team, but the Lakers were going to make the playoffs with or without Howard...I guess it throws a wrench in there knowing Iggy went to Denver..but we still have a better line-up than them..and bench. I say we'll beat out Denver for a playoff spot. Last edited by Knightofoceans on Fri Aug 10, 2012 8:15 pm, edited 1 time in total.
The Hulk is a Warriors fan.
Oh..and didn't the NBA owners decline a trade for Paul to the Lakers because he was "too good"? What about Dwight to the Lakers? Something's not right here..
The Hulk is a Warriors fan.
They could veto the other trade because they all jointly owned the Hornets at the time. Anyways, this trade is not bad at all for them if either Hark or Vic develop in a solid player. They get three middle firsts, and probably their own top five pick. They draft a top tier player, build around him and in three years you most of your contracts coming off. And if the second deal on the table was the Nets deal, they definitely made the right choice. Magic did not make a bad trade at all. Although, it's a little bad if Hark or vic do not develop.

Stem cell transplantation is a treatment for leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). However, in some patients, leukemia or MDS cells remain in the body or come back after disappearing, despite the stem cell transplant.
In this study, researchers have taken a protein called the Wilms' Tumor Protein (WT1) — which can be found in some, but not all, leukemic cells — and, in the laboratory, they have grown immune cells (T cells, a type of white cell) which are sensitized to that protein.
The purpose of this study is to found out if, in patients with leukemia that has the WT1 protein, the administration of "WT1-sensitized T cells" grown from an HLA-matched donor can be performed safely. Researchers want to learn whether the WT1-sensitized T cells can attack the protein and kill the leukemia or MDS cells. They also hope to learn what the WT1-sensitized T cells do to each patient's disease.
To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following:
For more information and to inquire about eligibility for this study, please contact Dr. Richard O'Reilly at 212-639-5957.
