<serious>
I have a VAIO F580 w/ a ND5100 netcard. I am looking to escape Windoze. I was wondering if anyone knows if it will work. I have sucessfully installed Radhat on it, so does that mean i can use Gentoo? |

No difference, main packages are the same, only the package system is different, redhat uses the f@cked up RPM system (not even installing the needed deps) while gentoo uses emerge. I would recommend however to use redhat for installation, this way you can easily check its configurations if your having trouble determining the modules / configuration for certain components in your system. You can easily install gentoo using a normal or graphics console (so don't boot from cd but abuse redhat for a while), just give it a try........ _________________ "Remember there's a big difference between kneeling down and bending over.", Frank Zappa |
