Zdravo,

ja bih ti preporucio da krenes od neke druge verzije Linux-a. U principu
svako bi trebalo (uz malo srece i pameti) da instalira Gentoo, ali ces
na kraju provesti vise vremena na ovim listama i na IRC-u trazeci pomoc
nego sto ces stvarno da koristis sistem. Prvi sistem koji sam instalirao
bio je RedHat, onda sam se "mucio" sa LFS jedno 2-3 meseca dok nisam
pronasao Gentoo. U svakom slucaju kreni od nekog koji je vise okrenut
pocetnicima i posle 2-3-6 meseci Gentoo ce biti samo logican korak.

When can we expect a graphical install from Gentoo linux?
It's a great distro but it lacks a graphical installation.....

i think a graphical installation is not in the philosophy of the distribution,

this has been quite a topic in the forums, and most people are rather 
glad, that there isn't any, and most hope there won't be ;)

Some developers are doing a graphical install, but only like alt to the
traditional install (i prefer this :)

Eurven,

Like all things free software: Sooner, if you get involved with it's
development and testing :-)

[gentoo-dev] question

[Jeroen Verhoeckx]

Hello,

Will Gentoo ever sell the distribution like Red Hat,
Mandrake or SuSe? So that I can buy it in a box with
documentation etc, in a computershop.

Greetings Jeroen Verhoeckx

I am afraid that if the commands mentioned in the installation guide
puzzle you, then Gentoo Linux is not for you, because they are indeed
standart Linux commands. If you're interested in Linux, but are too
afraid of commands that seem to be cryptic and are not ready for doing
lots of things manually as well as reading enormous amounts of
documentation, I would suggest some other Linux distribution, like
RedHat, Mandrake or SUSE.

They are much easier to setup for a person who is not an avid Linux user
and they have rather good hardware autodetection during the install
process and most of them also supply GUI configuration utils that you
can use after installation. Gentoo Linux offers neither, nor does it aim
to. Think of it as a do-it-yourself-Linux-distribution. Many people like
the idea, many people don't.

Sincerely,
Dan Naumov (aka Jago on OPN)

hello bojan,

one note: please do not write html mail to this mailinglist (or better: write 
never html-mails to ALL mailinglists).

there are many books and howtos around the web. a very good book with all 
commands is: o´reillys "linux in a nutshell". but you must know, that no book 
can help more then simply doing it.

i have worked with suse linux long time but nothing in this distribution 
worked like i want it - so i changed to gentoo linux. it's not so easy like 
the configuation of suse but when you know what you're doing, it's the 
easiest distribution ever seen.

!!! it is the first distribution where i can compile everything - without 
errors !!!

right: you must read much more... but isn't it fun to learn more about linux?
i think thats the way of linux... ;-)

regards
hanez... ;-)

Why would you need that?  It is obvious from looking at it what the full 
path is.  If you need it for scripting, then I might suggest a hint:
emerge will take "=x11-libs/qt-3.0.4-r1" as an argument.
