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've asked the same questions about USE flags in the Gentoo forums, and basically come to the conclusion that this is a potentially very powerful way of optimizing your system, but is also very poorly documented. One of the key features that is not explained well is what flags may apply to teh particular package that you are trying to install.
