Hi, all...

I'm loading gentoo on a new laptop, and I'm trying to figure out whether it's better to emerge dhcp or dhcpcd?

What's the difference? Does anyone have advice about this?

Thanks!

Hi,
DHCP is the full-dhcp server; DHCPCD is the client DHCP daemon. If you are not running a DHCP server, go with the latter!

Cheers,
