Gentoo

What is Gentoo?


1.

Watching shit scroll by for hours makes me a Linux expert overnight!

I like gentoo and hondas.

2.

A GNU/Linux distribution that isn't as easy to install as Red Hat-based distributions, but is very stable. You have to build it from source. It's worth it, though, as it builds into your system.

It takes three commands to install Gentoo.

# cfdisk /dev/hda && mkfs.xfs /dev/hda1 && mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo/ && chroot /mnt/gentoo/ && env-update && . /etc/profile && emerge sync && cd /usr/portage && scripts/bootsrap.sh && emerge system && emerge vim && vi /etc/fstab && emerge gentoo-dev-sources && cd /usr/src/linux && make menuconfig && make install modules_install && emerge gnome mozilla-firefox openoffice && emerge grub && cp /boot/grub/grub.conf.sample /boot/grub/grub.conf && vi /boot/grub/grub.conf && grub && init 6

That's the first one.

See gnu, linux, bsd, unix, wine, Victor

3.

The favourited distrobution of Linuxthat I've found among my favourite Linux geeks. Supposed to be a bit less newbie-friendly than Mandrake, but meh. It has a really nice installation guide and FAQ.. about 40 pages all together. I've never seen anything like that with other distros.

Also a small fast penguin or something.

Gentoo has a lot of documentation, man. That's a very good thing. All my Linux-geek friends like it.

4.

A fast-growing distro of Linux, geared towards optimisation and people who like to tinker than other distros. It's straight forward to install if you RTFM, but still takes ages as it compiles everything from source code, so that it is faster and more optimised for your system.

The Debian user generalised all Gentoo users as elitist pricks, when, ironically, he was being the prick.

(I'm not generalising- this is a hypothetical character.)

See do I have to put something here?

5.

A Totally awesome linux distro

gentoo is a awesome linux distro

6.

Scweet linux distro that compiles all packages from source gentoo

7.

n00b linuxdistro similar to suse, in which a user must spend the better part of their weekends configuring, just to get installed. Created for losers by losers, it stands above the much better distros due to sheer luck and stupidity

I'm a gentoo ricer! Hear me R04R!!
