I couldn't handle it, but that was just because it took too long from
a stage 1 tbh. I don't see any reason at all why people can't start
off with a stable and secured o.s and learn from there. Nothing like
people thinking they know it all and have left some hole in their

Gentoo was my first Linux distro and I had a few years of computer
experience to try to understand what was going on with every
installation step. The kernel configuration took the longest to
comprehend but I got it down and now I know what to compile into the
kernel and apply some patches to
I personally come from the angle if you need to ask which distro,
gentoo debian probably aren't for you (although server side you can
scrape through debian ok really). Fed core is ok, but there's a lot
needed for a server and more updates which isn't necessarily ideal for
a server. Might be worth
Original message from Renzo Rosales:
Gentoo is a good meta-distribution if you want to control what gets
installed and have a pure system based on your needs.
It is, however, not a good distro for new Linux users. Unless they want
to become seasoned Linux users very quickly.

I must say I don't agree there, I started out with Gentoo as my first
Linux
distro, and I managed quite fine...
As long as you know what google.com is, you can use pretty much whatever
distro
Can't really agree with the above. Its fine if its a pc at home, but
simply the length of time it takes makes it unfeasible for many. For
me I like to attend site, install o.s, leave site. 30 mins is what I
call reasonable to have a fresh install up and running, all customers
back online and go
Depending on your approach to installing Gentoo, it can be
time-consuming or a matter of following a few steps. You could have a
Gentoo box running at the home/business with all the pre-compiled
packages (for i386 or i686) sitting on a FTP/RSYNC server and when you
want to install a package (a DNS
I'm not knocking Gentoo, it's the only Linux distro I'd ever use (as a
long time FreeBSD user). But I think most people completely new to
Linux (and UNIX in general) would find it difficult. The quick
install reference approach assumes you understand things like how

Sort of off topic, but not really as its relevant to the first
question asked. I'm sorry but Gentoo is just plain wrong for new
people. It takes ages, lulls you into a false sense of security that
you know more than the people that actually make specific server
installs for example (why do gentoo

I vote for Slackware for a new user. Nobody has mentioned it yet. It
runs CS quite well, and is pretty easy for a new user to set up. Plus
they are forced to learn basic commands, which helps. (if nothing else,

Hi im planning onrenting a dedicated box but
i would like to know what linux os below is best for running game

FreeBSD is quite a good OS, however most game server binaries are in
Linux format and thus require the linux emulation that FreeBSD offers.
If you're planning/wanting to run anything in 64-bit mod, then you'd
probably be out of luck as I believe the emulators are only 32-bit
