That was in 2004. So yeah, it went well, as I’m still running Gentoo.
The installation went ok, but it took ages. I had Compaq Armada E500: Single core 900MHz Pentium III and 256MB of RAM. I had help from my friend who explained in detail what we were doing and why during the installation process.
Next time I needed to install Gentoo I did it by my self. I had the Gentoo Handbook open on other machine and I followed it carefully. I was surprised by how smoothly the install went.
Few weeks ago I once again installed Gentoo onto a new machine. 36-cores (two Xeons) and 256GB of RAM. It’s always funny to compare how much more powerful my newest machine is compared to my first Gentoo machine. ;)
Oh and welcome to Gentoo. ;) If you need any help the forums are a great place to ask.
P.S.: A great username btw. 😁
I had the same message displayed.
But do I really want to see an animated nazi salute?
