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. |
