I'm sorry, but this is such a well-worn path and has been beat to death. |

This is not Ubuntu or yadda yadda yadda. This Gentoo. Maybe this is the |
| 25 |
price of admission. If it is, well too bad. If all the Gentoo users that |
| 26 |
fill the mailinglists and forums |
| 27 |
have been able to install Gentoo with the aid of the best docs, you |
| 28 |
should be able too. Gentoo does not make it's goal to be difficult. |
| 29 |
Because it is different than the way YOU think it should be. It is what |
| 30 |
it is. Not what you want or will be happy with? Go somewhere else. |
