I was a Linux newbie when I installed Gentoo; it was the first distro I installed. It was recommended to me by a friend who said if I wanted to learn a lot as I installed it and set it up, Gentoo was a good idea. I now recommend it to newbies on the same basis. But it's only useful to them in this way /without/ the graphical installer. > Anyway, you need to use other distros first to truly appreciate > Gentoo :) Ain't that the truth. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
