I'm going to build a new computer soon (after I get the parts for X-mas -

be for a family computer that has scanner (parallel port) and ink jet
printer (usb).  I'd like something that will configure the hardware
automatically.  The installer should work without any problems.
I'll let someone who uses something other than Gentoo answer that.

The hardware I'm thinking about is AMD XP 1700 - 1.47 GHz CPU with a
Shuttle AK32L Socket-A XP motherboard.  Any comments on the CPU or MB?  How
about a video card recommendation (would like 3d capability).  TIA
It might be better value for your money (esp. in December) to get an Athlon XP 2*00+. What chipset is that Shuttle motherboard? VIA KT333 is what I'm using now, and it's really fast, and reliable so far. Video? I'd go for an NVidia Geforce4 Ti4200 if you game a good deal, as NVidia has drivers, and it's a modern card at a really good price.
