Message-ID: <45DA007E.6070407@mho.com> (raw)
I have been using Linux for several years, but am new to gentoo. I just
got a new dell xps 410 system with a intel duo E6400 processor. I have
tried all the distros I've used in the past, kubuntu, suse, mandriva.
All had problems serious enough to not use them. The problems may stem
from using prebuilt x86 distros. Maybe since gentoo is built during
install it might have a better chance.
What would be the 'best' medium for me, minimal or live CD? I have a
high speed connection.
Two avoid a typical dual boot install. I would like gentoo to boot from
my second hard drive. During boot up, I can now select which HD I want
to boot from. Will the install process let me assign a boot disk?
Thanks, Mike
