since you don't even know what linux is - go opensuse. It is much, much easier to install and setup. |

Gentoo is only for you if you like tuning, configuring and if you want the system be as close as your personal ideal as possible. Which means: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
reading and learning a lot |
| 13 |
making a lot of mistakes |
| 14 |
redoing |
| 15 |
be prepared to pull out shell based text tools and fix the mess you created, |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Go opensuse. it is much more usable for a novice. |

And to answer your question: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
no, gentoo is not using the same linux as ubuntu |
| 22 |
nor does opensuse. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
All distributions use some linux version and add their own patches. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
With the exception of gentoo where you can easily use a completely unpatched linux kernel. |
