In this video I'll go over how to install Gentoo Linux, as well as how it works, and what makes it different from other Linux distributions. This is a fantastic distro that is not only a great way to learn how Linux works, but also allows maximum flexibility on how each package is configured and installed. Part 2 is here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQxBsunITaA While I am no expert on Gentoo, this should guide you through to a working system. You might have to also read some of the Wiki if you hit a snag, but the Wiki is very complete and covers anything you might need to know to get this going. This is Part 1, as there is a lot to go over and explain along the way.
