After several updates of various systems software packages on my Gentoo Linux servers, I began to notice a problem where I was being denied sudo access. The solution was amazingly simple, once I actually Googled to figure out what was going on.

I seem to be surrounded by problems these days. Zend has announced that Zend Studio 7 is now in Beta, so I figured I’d go give it a try since I was having so many problems with Eclipse being sluggish and overall a piece of junk.

They didn’t have keyboard support built-in yet, and the application was bloated as hell (it took several hundred megs of memory - way more than a music player should). XMMS was out of the question because Gentoo removed it. So, I turned to a KDE app called Amarok. It was getting good reviews on sites I read, so I attempted to install it - and almost never made it past that point.
