1 I have been using Linux for several years, but am new to gentoo. I just
2 got a new dell xps 410 system with a intel duo E6400 processor. I have
3 tried all the distros I've used in the past, kubuntu, suse, mandriva.
4 All had problems serious enough to not use them. The problems may stem
5 from using prebuilt x86 distros. Maybe since gentoo is built during
6 install it might have a better chance.

8 What would be the 'best' medium for me, minimal or live CD? I have a
9 high speed connection.
10
11 Two avoid a typical dual boot install. I would like gentoo to boot from
12 my second hard drive. During boot up, I can now select which HD I want
13 to boot from. Will the install process let me assign a boot disk?

15 Thanks, Mike
