The nice thing about gentoo is it doesn't hide how things work as much as say ones with graphical tools to do most stuff. Compiling is becoming faster all the time as hardware improves, and its even possible to build an entire new distribution in the background, should you want to start from scratch. To do that you tend to need to create something like
/hda1 boot ~20MB /hda2 swap ~1GB /hda3 tmp ~5GB /hda5 root1 ~15GB /hda6 root2 ~15GB /hda7 home - rest of space then boot to either the os on 5 or 6 depending. Of course I didn't do it last time I built this machine and now kind of wish I did since you can built the entire OS cleanly to get everything tidy then test it and configure it _before_ abandoning your regular one. Of course its not as if you have to reinstall often, but sometimes things seem a little cleaner to do a clean compile and if you nice the process it doesn't really slow things down much. , and its even On Tue, 2005-03-08 at 19:05 -0700, Blammo wrote: > Fedora for me.
