@darthirakli Gentoo is the one linux distro that gives me random headaches.
Some versions work and some don't. Just last week I spent three days trying to install a stage 3 version of gentoo but it kept refusing to boot (tried 6 times). However, just a month ago I had done the same installation with an older version and it worked fine.
Luckily for me, gentoo is updated frequently. So if there is a fatal bug in a gentoo stage3, it will be fixed next week.
If you're not going to bother compiling Gentoo itself (that's how it's meant to be done: add versatility and speed), then you really don't have a reason to use it.
The slowness is due to the fact it's being shown through VMWare and not on actual hardware, it's being emulated! Gentoo is one of the fastest Linux distro's out due too the fact you can optimize it 100% to your systems hardware and CPU. Linux Mag did a benchmark comparing a pre-compiled binary distro [Ubuntu] to a source based distro [Gentoo], the speed of Gentoo is absolutely amazing. You get better framerates in games with Gentoo Linux also. :)
The guy has just taken 10 years gentoo livecd and put it in. Its not even gentoo install. Gentoo is awesome once you find out its customization - something that ubuntu will never be able to do cleanly.
a damn slow VM at that

this is not an install? this is just booting live gentoo on a Virtual Machine? Whaaa?

How do you make it NOT boot into the livecd? Instead install?
Krisando 1 year ago
@Krisando You can do it from LiveCD KDE, console > sudo su > commands.
Otherwise you write gentoo nox (no Xorg) instead of gentoo and then follow guide

Gentoo's documentation is very good, so installing Gentoo isn't that difficult even for Linux newbie if one follows Handbook step-by-step.

You dont have to compile a kernel. You can also use genkernel.
