1 Good Morning Everyone:
2
3 I am preparing to install Gentoo for a very specialized application --
4 I have an older P3/400 box that I want to use to run AUDACITY to use it
5 as a digital recording deck on our church sound system. I am planning
6 to use fluxbox, and configure gentoo for a very lightweight application
7 (fluxbox because I have been told it is about the lightest weight gui).
8
9 I have NEVER done anything with Gentoo, my experience is in FC3/4 and
10 Ubuntu.
11
12 Can anyone provide hints / pointers / gotchas that I ought to be aware
13 of -- I have the installer manual etc, so I am more looking for hints
14 and tips that I ought to be aware of in trying this. I will also be
15 compiling my own kernel for this -- (That will be a first too)
16
17 Thanks
