Heyy Guys.. Please Help.

[dsoumil]

Hello guys.

My friend just suggested me this because i wanted to get into software and stuff.
He said that understanding gentoo will make a huge difference on how stuff works.
So i am totally new here and dont even know where to start from and what to do.
I have 0 knowledge of any time of assembly level language syntaxes and other technical stuff ( i am hoping to learn them).
According this forum i am total utra super NEWBIE.
So i hope guys could guide me from scratch and help me.


Regards,
Soumil

@dsoumil, Welcome to Gentoo!

Start with the Handbook, which will guide you through the process of getting Gentoo Linux set up on your computer. Be warned: although your friend is not wrong, the road is rough for beginners. You'll get lots of help, though.

As far as learning programming, if you could share more of your goals, perhaps we could make some recommendations there as well.

Thanks @John R. Graham For the reply.

I have read the handbook and it is indeed very hard to comprehend.
So i was thinking something from the scratch that can bring me up.

I am currently doing my B.Sc ( computer science) from a college in INDIA.
we have c/c++ , oracle our syllabus right now.
I was thinking of approaching software's and programming as my career field because i have always had a good time with computers.
I am very good at computer stuff and software ( not making or writing them , just as a normal computer newbie is).
So i thought i am seriously consider my friends advice because he is a very good programmer and i acknowledge his recommendation to Gentoo.

There are several good Linux Tutorials. Linux Sea is Gentoo-centric, free, and was written by a Gentoo developer. See if that's close to what you're looking for. If you're looking for dead trees, I like Linux in a Nutshell.
