I have been tinkering with Gentoo for atleast two months on my Toshiba Qosmio g45 laptop off and on. I have to say that I was not succesful at all. Well I got it compiled but could never get X working quite right.
Last night I installed Calculate and it was one of the most painless linux installs I have done yet. Its only been about 24 hours now, but so far everything runs flawless. Its fast and so far seems rock solid.
The only issue I am having is sound and I am sure I will have it figured out by the end of the evening, not a big deal.
Either way, Hats off to you guys for a fantastic distro. And a BIG thank you for making it easier for someone as new as me (less then a years experiance) with linux.
Out of the 7 (I think) pc's in the house, 6 are one distro or another and I am working on converting the wife
Thanks guys!
