I recently read Dustin Wilson's Newbie Gentoo Review and as a 'n00b' who recently installed Gentoo, I found it to be a good article about Gentoo. It is a very good overview of the installation and configuration process. After reading all the comments about how most people thought or were looking for it to be a newbie walkthrough, I thought that as a 'n00b' who has recently installed Gentoo, I would try to write a little something about installing Gentoo for the newbie.

Is Gentoo better/easier than Debian ??
It's different. While Gentoo is at the bleeding edge, always having the latest versions of the packages available, Debian has a reputation of being a little behind but stable. Also, Gentoo in general requires you to compile everything on your own where in Debian the standard is using binary packages (note that Debian also allows you to use source packages and parts of Gentoo are available as binaries).
