I'll third that. Linux may be a faster kernel and have faster WMs available, but when it comes to low-level rendering Windows is faster than X in both 2D and 3D.

if the emerge was successful, all that will be left is /var/tmp/portage/package-ver/temp/eclass-debug.log and environment. actually, i dunno why they're left behind.
Hmm... perhaps they are used by emerge to determine the flags the package was compiled with?
No, /var/db/pkg.

If the key and value are differentiated in some way, just improve your matching expression.
I can easily match either a particular key or a value, but how can I match both at once in order to output them on the same line?

If you have an internet connection you can emerge a light GUI such as fluxbox.

Note that things will take a long time to compile on such an old machine. Be prepared to let emerges run ...

What is? The stage file? You don't need that until later. Please follow the handbook.

Not the stage file it says the whole iso is a rar lol\

Man i suck at linux lmfao

Go to the mountpoint where you mounted your filesystem (most likely /mnt/gentoo): mount??? the handbook never mentioned this ...

Huh well win rar says it is lol..

Then perhaps you should look up whether there is actually a meaningful difference, and alieviate such thoughts with facts.

Please read the entire handbook, word for word.

If you are going to reinstall XP, you should install XP before Linux. Just leave enough free space for new partitions.
k im still reading the handbook, anyways is there a way NOT to boot windows XP and just linux?? if no if they both boot up wont that create lag lol.
Lag? From the bootloader, you ...

The steps are explained in the handbook...

If from the livecd you type "fdisk -l" , it will show your partitions.

x86

you can install both if you have a free partition

once you have gentoo installed, if you want to learn more try http://linuxcommand.org

just an example.

Should work.

If not, emerge unfoo and try that (unfoo is a wrapper that works for pretty much everything)

Depending on your fstab, it may be as simple as

I agree.

Shuttle bad. Gigabyte good but expensive.

Unemerge the blocking packages.

use tmpreaper

put it in your cron, if you like

Pretty much any s939 nforce will do. MSI, Asus, and Abit are all good.
