The first time I've installed Gentoo I've started from Stage1 and following |
2 |
step by step the handbook (and the Gentoo forum) I didn't have any problem.. |
3 |
Some of my friends, to which I suggested to use Gentoo, had some problems, |
4 |
but because they didn't follow the handbook very well.. So, I think that |
5 |
Stage1 and Stage2 are not really a problem, even for a Gentoo newbie. By the |
6 |
way, this is just my opinion :) |

Free software is a matter of liberty not price. |

You should think of "free" as in "free speech". |

Linux is the kernel, one of the essential major components of the |
51 |
system. The system as a whole is more or less the GNU system, |
52 |
with Linux added. When you're talking about this combination, please |
53 |
call it ``GNU/Linux''. ~ Richard Stallman |
