Yes I've met a new Linux distro for me Gentoo. The freedom that Gentoo provides makes you a real Linux user:) Actually I must confess that was very difficult to install Gentoo system for me. But it was my fault (I tried it with the old version of the Gentoo hand book:)). However when everything has finished, i agreed that Gentoo is the symbol of freedom in Linux galaxy.
First of all I must say for the end-users and people new to Gentoo you'd better it to install for stage 3. Because the first stage you what need to succee is to finish the installation of the base system. And you can give the command
emerge -Ud world
you can absolutely compile everything for your system. Gentoo is absolutely a world of choices.
The important point is you can compile the code with the parameters exactly you want with USE flags as you have chanche to choose the programs.
Secondly you can choose the kernel which you want to install. there an upto 20 different kernel. Moreover, you may compile the kernel chosen by manually or the kernel compiler of gentoo "genkernel". And if you give the command,
genkernel --menuconfig all
you can choose compiling parameters.
There is another important point is your /etc/make.conf file. This file is important for installation of programs. I will mention it later.
And after the installation of grub now you have a free terminal:)
and now you can start with the command
emerge gnome-light gdm
or emerge kde //installs all
emerge gnome //installs all
However the make.conf is important, and don't forget to emerge -Ud world.
so far so good, :D
wish you to read this page in gentoo later:D
