New to Gentoo …

Brand new

Playing with Sabayon now, an “out-of-box” gentoo, seems fun, but I have to write down something as I never touched this before:

• rc-update/rc-status to add/list current enabled services
• “emerge –sync” to sync package meta data, and “emerge –search” to search, then “emerge pkg” to install package “pkg” – it takes some time as everything will be built from source
• change /boot/grub/menu.lst, vga=normal to avoid loading system with graphics

Could be more, will post then.

  I’m moving to Gentoo, and this seems to be the best documentation for newbies:
