i've spent the last few days trying to do a stage 1 onwards gentoo install

to no avail, keeps falling over on bootstrapping

I have the entire manual printed out here.

it still hates all my motherboards.

yeah, i was following the handbook

not happy


shall keep trying though

i gave up eventually.

logic being, gentoo takes 3-4 days to install, and works pretty well.

windows takes 25 minutes and it works just as well.

but it's not anything like as leet...

i'm prolly going to put ubuntu back on my second HDD

If you need a little box to sit there and encode/decode or work out the human genome, then gentoo is a sturdy little OS that's entirely customised for your platform, thus it's fucking quick. But as a desktop OS, it's rubbish because of all the fuss and bother you've got to go through to compile every* damn application you want to install.

*you can use binaries, but then you eliminate the point of using Gentoo, and might as well use Debian.

problem with gentoo is that you have to compile the genome first, then compile scientists to work it out.

it takes long enough to compile gnome, sticking an extra vowel in certainly can't help matters

linux =

Hey I've just installed Linux, but I didn't get that manual

got a stage 3 install going :D

gnome won't compile now, i'll just get the binary me thinks, hell, i should have stuck with ubuntu
