I would think that the ability and willingness to read instructions is a |
| 9 |
prerequisite to running a gentoo system. And it should be |
| 10 |
non-negotiable, much like the ability and willingness to read is a |
| 11 |
prerequisite for a university education. |

I fundamentally disagree with with the whole idea of a noob-proof gui |
| 14 |
installer for gentoo. That's ubuntu's province and they are very good |
| 15 |
at it. Gentoo caters to a different market. |
