Re: [gentoo-user] Possible new gentoo user

[Terry Eck]

Thanks to everyone who responded to my post. I will give gentoo
a try to see how it goes. I remember my first attempt at switching
from redhat 5.1 to SuSE 6.2 many years ago. Although linux is linux,
the different distributions implement and configure the software in
their own manner.

BTW: Not that it matters but my first experience with linux was
around 1994 using Slackware 1.2.0. Back then it was common to
configure and compile the kernel for sound. Linux has come a long
ways and in a way I'm looking forward to "getting my hands dirty"
like in the old days.

[gentoo-user] Possible new gentoo user

[Terry Eck]

I've been a SuSE user for several years now currently running 10.0.
I'm interested in giving gentoo a try with the object of converting
from SuSE to gentoo. I've been looking at this list for a couple of
weeks and have determined that there may be a steep learning curve
on my part converting. Any words of advice on getting up to speed
using gentoo before I install it.

Thanks for any advice you might be able to give me.
