Never install Gentoo

Seriously, it's not as fun as you think.

I finally got things up and running on my computer again, but I still have some things to reorganize before I'll be able to get things to a state of normalcy.

Setting up Gentoo was a nightmare. It took all of last night to set it up the first time and it didn't work. It took all day today to get it set up again (on AMD64 architecture this time) and it still didn't work. I figured out the problem though, and now things are better than ever. However, I would not recommended doing a stage1 install unless you really have nothing better to do with your system. You might even want to be hesitant about a stage2 install. Stage3 probably isn't half-bad since the packages are pre-compiled (which is why it takes so long), so if you're a newbie, go with that.

It was interesting though and gave me a lot of new information on the Linux platform that I might not have otherwise obtained. It taught me how to use fdisk (the non-Microsoft version) and to set up a basic installation. Now I gotta go and install all the packages manually by compiling them from source code, which I don't particularly look forward to right now, so I'm gonna spend time getting Windows in a state of decent operation.

Or I'll just screw around and watch speed runs. Yeah, that's probably better, it's been a long day.
