Gentoo.

[Jacob Hurley]

Side note*

Me and my buddy Kevin are planning on making the gentoo meeting this
weekend.. I will be bringing my Desknote/laptop that already has X
rolling (and shooting for the extras such as flash and whatnot) and
Kevin will be bringing in his sparc ultra 5 for install as well.

Question (prol a stupid one) :  we haven't been to a meeting yet, and
were wondering if there is Ethernet access and power hookups available
to us all, or just for the people giving the presentation??  We could
also hookit-up via wireless if needed.. but I would like to tinker
around with my install during the meeting..

Later,

Jacob Hurley

I installed gentoo about 2 weeks ago after reading through some of
jason's emails and I am loving it.  I have never been to 'hard core' as
for as X goes, but now I am watching DivX rips on my desktop *warm
fuzzies*..

Not to mention that gentoo community is full of a bunch of cool people
that like to help out whenever they can (from my experience so far).

forums.gentoo.org  is very helpful, and when you just want to BS around
an such:

irc.freenode.net #gentoo  average of around 500 users everytime I have
stopped by

simply, .. very cool..

I was wondering how many of you are using this distribution.

I'm considering it (it will be the ppc port) and would like your 
opinion on ease of install, configuration, etc.

Does it come with X or do you need to download it separately?

I noticed that the ISO file was 120 megs or so, and I guess I kinda 
figgered that a little small for a complete distribution.

The file listing also gave a couple of .tbz2 files (stage 2 & 3).

What do I do with these files and what exactly are they?

Thanks in advance for any help.
