OK we now have four definites (Ross D, Adrian M, Bruce's son, Simon K) and a maybe (Yuri deG).
Attached is a largely empty pdfexport of a spreadsheet with the kind of info we need. Please let me have the missing details asap. If I don't have the details, then the likely consequence is that the correct files will not be downloaded for you. The last column is for info on winmodems or other hardware that you think may require a special drivers. In my humble opinion the best way to install gentoo in a group situation like this is to install binaries. I know that gentoo is source compiled, optimised blah blah, but you aren't going to get a full desktop installed in 6 hours or so compiling all of kde or gnome. Trust me in this, getting a complete binary system will be over in a few hours and then you can recompile with different use flags or other optimisations at your leisure. You will have a working system, with a modern desktop. The rest is at your leisure. Those are my thoughts on it anyway, and its the reason we need to know your hardware details.
