Hello All,
I've been lurking here for awhile. I found the posts on Mark's companys tag lines quite entertaining. ;) My first language was Fortran follwed by 360 assembly language (punched cards) , years later Coco Basic. Graduated from Dos to Linux without going through windows. :) Favorite language is perl. etc...
Came to gentoo with the 64bit box, finding no point in running a 32 bit O/S, which was removed before purchase. Great fun, even the headaches...
Re: the FAQ:
A discussion of the dangers of etc-update. Protect your hand-crafted config files. Especially fstab and group.
For the Linux noobs: a tutorial on setting up mail and other essential services; possibly a brief introduction to using the CLI and some of the tools available; and some information regarding the Gentoo forums, FAQs and the rest of the site.

Hi everybody,
I'm currently thinking about writing up a little Gentoo/AMD64-FAQ that should catch the most frequently asked question (what a surprise ;)). I hope that this FAQ will also lower the "unnecessary" traffic on this list and the irc channel. Unfortunately, I only have a few questions, so please everyone give me some input :)
o What were your first questions when you installed Gentoo on a AMD64? o Which questions bore you every day on this list or #gentoo-amd64?
The FAQ probably will also contain questions that are already covered in the technotes, but it seems that not everyone reads them :(
They FAQ will be found http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/index.xml?catid=faq as soon as we have enough questions and gerrynjr xmlified them :)
Thanks in advance,
blubb
