I have heard some good things about gentoo so I am giving it a try. I started off with a stage 1 install and have made it to stage2.
I have been trying to get the following to work: emerge --fetchonly system
It complains about:
Couldn't download db-4.1.25.tar.gz. Aborting. Couldn't download shadow-4.0.5.tar.bz2. Aborting.
I have been trying for the past few days, but it is not getting any farther.
Where do I go from here ? ( Besides using a stage 3 install :-)
-Thanks Steve More

Maybe you could try to download the two files from here and save them to /usr/portage/distfiles/ :
http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo/distfiles/db-4.1.25.tar.gz http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo/distfiles/shadow-4.0.5.tar.bz2
