Hello Brian!

Thanks for the fast answer= !
The biggest problem is that I've used only Kubuntu (for one= year) and since that time I've been using openSUSE (for more than two = years already). Is it hard for novice to use Gentoo if I know only basics o= f C and C++ and prefer to set up system using GUI rather than shell if it i= s possible (though sometimes I've had to change some things using shell= before)?

P.S. Will it be enough to setup Gentoo as virtual syste= m like VirtualBox? Or it is better to free partition?

This is the big one. =C2=A0To be able to work on catalyst, you first = must be
running and using gentoo linux and be familiar with it. =C2=A0Gentoo's<= br> package management tools are central to running and using catalyst to
build various output media. =C2=A0If you are not already using gentoo, you<= br> best get a partition free and install it asap. Become familiar with it.

tools to be familiar with:

portage and it's cli tools, emerge, emaint, portageq
gentoolkit's equery, eclean

You must be familiar with using the above tools and solving build
problems and package installation failures.

Then start trying to use catalyst to generate some targets.

This is all information that will need for you to succeed in your
project proposal.

This will be something for your actual proposal. =C2=A0It can be done= later.
