Illumos Gets A New C Compiler
Illumos is an OpenSolaris-derived Unix system, and no Unix is complete without a C compiler or two.

Week 7 report on porting Gentoo packages to modern C

would like to incorporate in my work in the following weeks ahead.Coming to my work, as I said in my last report. I picked up where I left
before week 6. Sent sent in some patches (no upstream unfortunately).

has an excellent guide on using lxc containers for setting up test
environment. -
