I’m humming along with amd64 gentoo. Small annoyance: seems like whenever firefox or a related package gets bumped, I have to rerun this to get my flash working again. No big deal, just here for my reference:
nspluginwrapper --install /usr/lib32/nsbrowser/plugins/libflashplayer.so
restart firefoxMy WordPress sites need some love… looking at the following plugins…

To get around this, just turn off “automatically select mirror” and you’ll get the nice full list of mirrors to select from. In my case, it was repeatedly selecting software-mirror.com, even though it was not up-to-date and kept failing. Switched to a Georgia Tech mirror and I was golden.
Window->Preferences->Install/Update->Automatically select mirrors-> uncheck
Help->Software Updates->Find and install...->Search for updates->Finish
(the mirror selection screen appears)iptraf is great to quickly monitor network usage. Just don’t forget Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle (or, to be more technically correct, the observer effect) – using iptraf over a proxied ssh connection adds about 6.6 kbps of usage just for the tool used to measure usage. Fun fun! :>
Here’s a script that you can run to measure bandwidth in the background, removing some of the overhead of trying to visually display in realtime the very thing you’re measuring:
#!/bin/bash
if [ -e /var/log/iptraf/bandwidth.txt ]
then
rm /var/log/iptraf/bandwidth.txt
fi
export SAMPLETIME=1
export SLEEPTIME=62
iptraf -B -t $SAMPLETIME -i all -d eth0 -L bandwidth.txt
sleep $SLEEPTIME
cat /var/log/iptraf/bandwidth.txt|grep kbits
