Let's see, how shall I put this? Oh stuff it, might as well be honest. |

gentoo-wiki.com is notorious for being up and down more often than you change |
| 9 |
your underwear. It's also been compromised at least twice in the last 12 |
| 10 |
months. The home page was last updated so long ago I'm no longer sure if it |
| 11 |
was still in this millenium. |

The content on it is even less reliable than the nonsense you will find |
| 14 |
spouted off on Ubuntu forums (and that's saying something...) |

For someone starting out with Gentoo I would be inclined to persuade you[1] to |
| 17 |
avoid gentoo-wiki at all costs for a while. The real info, the true stuff, is |
| 18 |
to be found on the official Gentoo site and right here on this list (of |
| 19 |
course!) |

Don't let this put you off - Gentoo is great, the wiki is just not so great. |
