Boys and girls, I have not yet begun my Gentoo installation but have been reading the docs in anticipation and vaguely following this list and what is very clear is that this install is very much like the first one Slackware install I did a little over ten years ago now when things were not as slick as the newer distros have made it.
I admit that it's nice to be able to insert a Debian or Fedora or SuSE dvd in the carriage and fully expect that a flawlessly working OS will be installed forty-five minutes later but we pay a (huge?) price for this convenience in the way all of the "under the bonnet" stuff is kept from us. I believe I am going to enjoy this refresher course very much.
