Gentoo!

A few months back I put together a new system (Shuttle SN85 G4, 1GB Ram, 160GB SATA drive, DVD burner) and made this my main linux desktop (Fedora Core 2 32 bit). I had some issues installing 64bit Fedora Core 2…although I plan on trying 64 bit Fedora Core 3.

Anyway, my older PC (Sony P4 1.5Ghz, 384MB RAM) has been sitting idle. And it has a Hauppauge WinTV PVR 350. I had this setup and working before my hard drive failed - the second drive failed.

So, the Sony still has a 40GB drive (I plan on picking up an 80GB drive soon), and I thought it be fund to install Gentoo 2004.3. I’ve been meaning to give Gentoo a try for years but never had the free machine. It’s currently performing Stage 1…so I have a little time to kill.

So far the install has been very easy. The instructions have been awesome. Anyway, I hope to have a working gentoo installation within a few days. Stay tuned.
