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.

I tend to get better performance making my root partition reiserfs. This can be done by:
Good job on a shortened version though.
mkreiserfs /dev/hdXY where X is a letter and Y a partition number. I seriously recommend ext3 for the /boot partition though, since grub handles it better.

p.s. All that is in the install guide
