The official Gentoo Documentation and Gentoo Wiki are valuable sources of information and provide howto instructions for all sorts of setups. For Portage I'd recommend you start from here: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Working/Portage then delve into more areas by navigating to them from the menu list on the right titled "Working with Gentoo" and "Working with Portage". https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Main_Page -- Regards, Mick
