Sorry for top posting, it's BlackBerry's behavior. I cannot agree when you say that gentoo docs are written for geeks.
Gentoo's install guide is very well written and i18ed, at least in my native language. It takes the user step by step to prepare his enviroment, to install the distro, and to finalize it, always explaining every step and giving choices. First time I installed gentoo my only linux experience was 8 months of suse, I am not an IT person, but I haven't found the installation that painful. ======= TopperH ======= ================ Momesso Andrea ================ -----Original Message----- From: Nikos Chantziaras <rea...@arcor.de> Date: Thu, 05 Feb 2009 21:43:43 To: <gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org> Subject: [gentoo-user] Re: Gentoo's advantage: 'optimized for your system' -- huh?

You're screwed anyway if you can't use the CLI installer correctly. Reading the docs is fine, but they're written for geeks, not normal people. Normal people don't have a clue what the docs are talking about :)
