What command will get my on the road to installing it to the hard drive. 2. I have read a lot of help sites and to start installing gnome, I am supposed to use emerge commands. Sound easy enough, but I get an error: emerge: command not found I may be in over my head, but I would really like to include results from gentoo in my folding tests. I think if I can just get things moving, I can follow the guides from there. Thanks in advance. |

There isn't going to be much difference between each distro. The biggest choices you have are kernel and DM and the package managing system. All being said I'll throw my 2 cents in. Scrap linux. GPL is crap! Try using FreeBSD. I used to be a big linux advocate until I discovered BSD. |
