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.

If I leave everything turned on (maybe turn off things I'm certain I'm not using - like 3dfx, canna, cjk, and voodoo3), then am I safe? Will there be any performance gains/loss by leaving everything else as-is (enabled)?
This is where the install doc and the use flag how-to needs further explaination....the install docs just say "set the flags you need" but should be more like "remove the flags for equipment/services you are SURE you do not have installed, and if you do remove these flags, the outcome will be XYZ".
