Howdy Behrouz, |

Gentoo is a very wonderful OS, and we have lots of "Special" folks |
| 22 |
that are very capable, wise but often tainted, as you will discover. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Walter, like myself, is a minmalist. Others are right too, that your first |
| 25 |
journey into "Gentoo" you need to follow the beaten path for a while |
| 26 |
before you venture out, naked and alone. We've all borked a system or 2, |
| 27 |
some abuse the that honor........ |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
YOU have chosen a somewhat minimalist path with your desktop, wisely |
| 30 |
avoiding "bloat_ware_city". But, to avoid pain do keep some minimal |
| 31 |
collection of flags. Python is CRITICAL on gentoo, so ask before |
| 32 |
verging out on Python! |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Look at the defaults for your selected profile and what Walter has |
| 35 |
suggested. jArch_Linux documentation is often useful too. When in doubt, |
| 36 |
keep the flag, until you are assured it's removal will not result in a |
| 37 |
broken (borked?) system. You have a lot of reading to do on the |
| 38 |
www.gentoo.wiki and other gentoo pages (here are a few) |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
man euse (euse -i <flag> and euse -<flag>) |
| 41 |
eix <package> (man eix) |
| 42 |
man equery |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
gentoolkit (is your swiss army knife for gentoo) |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
http://www.gentoo.org/dyn/use-index.xml#doc_chap1 |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/OpenRC |
| 49 |
(hopefully, you are using openrc and not systemd ?) |

| 52 |
|
| 53 |
(Sven is a great human! He not only overseas much of the documentation, |
| 54 |
he one of the SeLinux folks, should you venture into those waters) |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
This is not a complete list of good reading by any means, but a start. |
| 57 |
|

|
| 59 |
good hunting! |
