On-topic: Congrats man! I’ve done 3 stage1 installs before, it’s a chore, but it’s fun. I moved to ubuntu as I don’t have to time to screw with maintaining my system. I miss the subtleties that gentoo provides for the terminal junkie, and I mistt emerge/portage, but I’ll get used to it…maybe.
Have fun!
Congratulations. I know Gentoo is quite a chore to install. However, I’m going to reinstall linux, because Gentoo simply isn’t that good, in my opinion anyway. Nothing works on it, I try to install some graphics drivers, and it completely screws my whole system. It has some nice features, like portage, but I just don’t like having to spend hours to get it to work. Dittohead, I might try switching to Ubuntu as well, I’ve heard some good things about it.
I’m still using Windoze on my gaming rig though. :x
Congratulations, you 1337 hax0r! :-p
Gentoo is nice if you can jsutify the time it takes to maintain the system / install software.
However I found I couldn’t justify the time, so I’ve went from Gentoo to Ubuntu AMD64.
But anyway, enjoy Gentoo!

Lol, you guys won’t forget that will you. Come on, it was funny.
Nice job! Now you can razzle dazzle your friends and put in a good word for linux. There’s a lot of FUD out there with regard to linux and it is misplaced. Each success is a score for linux.
hehe thanks guys! i survived a starge1 install after trying 4 times over 5 1/2 days…
tho one thing, whenever i try to emerge somthing, my darn compy overheats and shutsdown. tho its probably because i have only 2 fans…
