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.

Changing the root password after booting the LiveCD may not be a bad idea for the very security minded, but as you are working in a virtual environment (which provides the frontend to configure and install the packages to the hard drive), there's not much to screw with (yet) and the password will not be remembered once you reboot and actually enter the gentoo system.
