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.

Sorry if this was already posted. I would strongly suggest that anybody installing Gentoo look over the USE flags first and make a list of what you need and don't need. This way when it comes time to modify your "make.conf" file there will be a lot less guessing.
Also make sure you comapre it to the default USE flags found in the "make.defaults" file.
