GLIS was recently re-written to clean up the code and include a lot of bug fixes. Right now, I'm working on a GUI for GLIS, but it will be a while before its usable. At the moment, GLIS is more for people who have already installed Gentoo and know what they are doing, who just want to automate the install.

Tom,

Ya think someone might write an IS-GLIS?  This is how dumb I am... how do
you install the Gentoo install script?

Download the latest release...
got it.

Extract by typing the following: tar xvjpf glis*.tar.bz2
when, where?

Run ./glis for directions
what?

Greetings all,

I've tried seven or more distros in the last week.  The conclusion: I am
really looking for the gentoo philosophy and sophistication.  I want a
platform that is optimized for best practices and best tools.

However, I am a newbie.  As hard as I try, I am not going to be able to
install for the documentation provided.

As such, is there a gentoo version for dummies?  Are there any plans for a
more automated install script?

As others have suggested, you should probably force yourself to learn,
but you might like to take a look at the Gentoo Linux Install Script at
http://glis.sf.net.
