Thank you all for your support. If you don't mind the questions, then I will ask, providing as much info as I can so that you can help. I thought perhaps that I would have to give up Gentoo until such time that my Linux skills have improved.

Ask good specific, questions early and often.  Use all the Gentoo support
options (IRC/email/forums) and read the wiki.  Have another, working
system available (dual-boot maybe) until you trust your Gentoo system.
