Who is being snooty is you are because you did not contribute anything but being a snob that mothergoose729 should use Sabayon Linux. This does not help mothergoose729 because mothergoose729 problem was a module or a driver that mothergoose729 did not include during compile time. You have to understand about the problem before using a different distribution or upgrading the present distribution to the latest version.

If you think I was harsh at culaterout, well you are wrong. I do not like people that is trying to be a boss or enforce someone to do something like troubleshooting. If mothergoose729 does not want to troubleshoot the hardware, then it is mothergoose729 problem. I have tried helping several people. They ask for help and later denied to have any help. This is a pie in my face with out any reason.

I assume people that uses Slackware and Gentoo know the basics of how Linux works and know the basics of command line utilities. If they do not know the basics, they should look up it. Probably if they did look it up, they could find answers to the problem that they have.

I will never suggest Sabayon to anybody because it penalizes graphic performance and installing programs is more complicated than it should be. I still recommend Gentoo because it works.

If you think people in Gentoo forum making novice users as losers, then that what you think. From reading some threads on Gentoo forums, I do not see it that way. I think you brush people the wrong way.

I appreciate everybody who was so passionate about helping me in this thread. I now have a working copy of gentoo installed, fiddling with the settings now to make it perfect, thanks in no small part to all your help. I hope that if I have another problem in the future you will all be here to get me through whatever issue I am dealing with again, thank you .

lol OK.
<3 hugs <3

you guys are quite humorous I like you. Quite fiery spirits aren't ya?

I'm not bossing anyone, I just feel people can be approached nicely. I'm not forcing anyone to troubleshoot anything. Morals don't force people to live, but living should require morals correct?

BTW, I'm not a guy lol. Darksurf is female, yes... I'm only old in my way of thinking too. I'm actually in my early 20's

No Sabayon is actually really really easy to use. GUI package installer or via command-line. Same as ubuntu... if you want to look at it that way. If you find sabayon complicated you shouldn't be using gentoo! We use the same package manager!!! Sabayon was built off of a gentoo base and is very similar to gentoo except we also have a binary package manager for those who wish it, and it is compatible to be used with portage as well!

No it doesn't penalize graphic performance, thats a strange rumor... desktop compositing does hinder overall performance, but that is with any distro and is easily turned off and on.

And as for the gentoo forums, things have possibly changed during the time i've tried gentoo (years ago). But that doesn't change the fact that at one time many of them were quite the rude bunch. I speak from experience, not from rumor. And the gentoo forum had a bad rap for years because of this. Not just my opinion, historical fact. They were especially rude to sabayon users when sabayon first came out. That I also know for a fact as I'm part of sabayon staff. We've kind of merged since then and help each other, and things have gotten much better than they used to be.

But from what I said, nothing was a lie, nor was harm intended (as I have mentioned before). You wear your feelings on your sleeve and they will unintentionally be brushed off.

Again, I apologize, as I said before, I meant no harm and was merely trying to help another. Are you truely that offended by such a simple comment? if so, how do you think other users feel when you give comments yourself? Just something to think about.

Please understand, I'm sincerely apologizing, but would like you to also understand my intentions and that you are taking the comments a little too seriously.
