Ghaith is right, if you're going to install with network, get the |
| 11 |
minimal cd, your bandwidth will be used (and very well used) later :) |

About your hardware advice, if you're going A64, I would advice you to |
| 13 |
join the gentoo-a64 list, pretty good source for this kind of advice, |
| 14 |
other than that, research for compatible hardware can be done over the |
| 15 |
net (try http://www.linuxcompatible.org/compatibility.html) and if you |
| 16 |
have any specific question left after your web search, I guess someone |
| 17 |
here at gentoo-user would be happy to answer... :) good luck. |
