this is a good news for all ppl who wanna switch to linux from windows. They can learn its basics and then go for an advanced version later :)

vignesh justy follow the gentoo handbook always you will get gentoo up and running soon. That's the best method for the first timers to gentoo. I have been guilty of not following the gentoo handbook well and had minor problems.
Satissh and eddie, both gentoo users have always advised me to follow the handbook by word to get things right.
