I thought the point of gentoo was the ability to customize settings for |
| 13 |
optimal performance/ and fit. I see this customization as starting |
| 14 |
during installation and continuing after that. I also see it as |
| 15 |
separate from _how_ the initial installation occurs. |

Is it gentoo's goal to make the installation difficult so only a select |
| 18 |
group can do the install? Or is the goal to make gentoo a great |
| 19 |
distro? In the latter case, why not make the installation easy? |
