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.

My only comment on Dave's review is that I would change the root password immediately after getting to a command prompt from booting the LiveCD. The initial root password is a randomly generated string that you don't get to see. By changing it to something you know; it will be much easier to open up additional vterms if you need to do some diagnostics/web research while installing.
