Installing gentoo?

[TotalNoob]

Then for sure it is not for me

[TotalPenguin]

I think that if you read some articles and you are able to type.. you should have no problems. I myself am going to take this challenge and will try and install it (Thanks to v0id)

[v0id]

Let's us know if you can get it to work.

[TotalPenguin]

Well this might take some time as I still have to read about it and get the OS.. and when I feel like it (depending from my mood) I will install it and let you guys know

What is Gentoo and is it BSD based?

[v0id]

Actually, there's two Gentoos around.Gentoo Linux and Gentoo/FreeBSD. They're both located here: http://www.gentoo.org/

[TotalPenguin]

Hmm.. now that I'm going to install one, which one you think is better? and what are the differences?

[v0id]

It depends on what you like the best, FreeBSD or Linux? I've never tried *BSD, so I can't tell you the differences between them.

[Wanch]

FreeBSD is extremely stable but there are not as many applications for it. When you make your choice think about how stable you want it (Linux is pretty damn stable) or do you want more applications and support?

[TotalPenguin]

Well to say the truth.. I just want to test gentoo.. and figure out if I can install it.
