13 I was a Linux newbie when I installed Gentoo; it was the first distro
14 I installed. It was recommended to me by a friend who said if I wanted
15 to learn a lot as I installed it and set it up, Gentoo was a good
16 idea. I now recommend it to newbies on the same basis. But it's only
17 useful to them in this way /without/ the graphical installer.
