Running Gentoo involves steps that you do on almost no other distro, so |

Almost everyone that's done it for the first time in the last 5 years |
| 11 |
and reported up says "Gee, that wasn't so hard! A lot easier than I ever |
| 12 |
thought it would be!" |

It's also very obvious what each step actually did, but you have to do |

Your next assigned task (to be done sometime in the next year) is to |
| 20 |
repeat the whole process on a test rig and do it from a stage 1. Like we |
| 21 |
all did 15 years ago. If serious street cred brownie points is what you |
| 22 |
are after, that's how you get 'em! |
