I know it's been awhile, but I haven't really been doing anything blog-worthy lately, so there it is. The other day (more like last week sometime), I started to ponder installing Gentoo on my desktop box. I printed out the gentoo handbook, burned a brand-new minimal-x86-2007.0 disk, rebooted, and I was off!
After about 2 hours of emerge --sync, compiling, and untarring, I was set to go. I followed the handbook to the letter, except for a couple of things: For one, I didn't make a separate 32Mb /boot partition, because I already had grub configured on my root drive for ubuntu, and I _really_ didn't want to lose my beautiful working operating system. I simply edited /boot/grub/menu.lst on /dev/hda2 (my ubuntu root drive) to include a couple references to the gentoo root partition.
Also, because I was dual-booting, I had to modify my partitioning a little bit, but nothing major.
In other news, I'm engaged to a beautiful girl, and we're set to get married in May, God willing.
