Gentoo Linux (Linux Journal)
Linux Journal has a review of Gentoo
Linux. "After the several hours that the compilation took, I had
to modify the /etc/fstab manually to indicate where my partitions were. I
also had to download the source for my kernel and compile it. After this, I
downloaded and compiled a system logger, a cron daemon, set my root password
and configured a boot loader. I then cleaned up by unmounting the various
file systems I had mounted for the installation process, ejected the CD and
restarted my machine. At this point, my machine was a clean shell, awaiting
my command to install software using the Portage system. When all was said
and done, it took me approximately 24 hours from start to finish to have a
fully functional, fully customized desktop system."
