Gentoo is widely documented, and if you can read, most answers are |
13 |
already at the wikis, howtos, gentoo docs and mailing lists, add to |
14 |
this the foruns and user groups. Gentoo has a knowledge base that can |
15 |
make you solve most problems, of course, if its one of those HARD |
16 |
issues, you can always ask, but then again, those are 10% (if all of |
17 |
that) from our traffic. |

So, yes, the install was a "how to read and follow the manual" |
20 |
teaching, and stage3 is easier and taught less than stage1, but hey, |
21 |
its faster and have less side effects, and besides, if you can get a |
22 |
stage1 from a stage3, who cares?! |
23 |
|
24 |
But again, we'll have lots of RTFM and STFW in our foruns and mailing |
25 |
lists... If you can find the manual page, don't give them the |
26 |
solutions, give the link instead, teaching someone how to fish feeds |
27 |
for a lifetime, giving someone the fish itself only feed once. |
