Review of Gentoo 2007.0 Linux

Quote:f you are a Linux user wanting to jump into the world of Gentoo, the GUI installer is by no means the first method of install you should go with. Yes, you've heard this before, but there is a reason. Performing an installation via command line helps you better understand how Linux, and Gentoo works.

It doesn't matter if you have been an Ubuntu or SUSE user for years. If you have never delved deep beneath the surface of your favorite desktop environment, chances are you have no idea how everything works. After installing Gentoo by command line (a few times) and actually contemplating what you are doing, you will better understand Linux in general. It will also help you a lot later if you happen to run into any problems. If that seems like too much of a chore, this distro is not for you.

The GUI installer was created for those who wanted to get a system up and running quickly. Even with this, you have to understand how Gentoo works, else you are not going to have a functioning system...
