I tried Gentoo on a virtualBox without any X server. It was good, but I
prefer Ubuntu.

Dear list,
This is for gentoo users who have experienced it.If you are new to
gentoo, take a look at here,
*http://www.gentoo.org/*
and get latest gentoo 11.2 from
* http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/where.xml*
Try this link to install gentoo live dvd into hard-disk.This live dvd
comes with almost necessary multimedia and development applications
default.
*http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Install_LiveDVD_11.2_to_hard_disk_drive*
Why this means?
- Installation is one of the most toughest part in gentoo and linux users
avoiding gentoo because of the installation.
- Gentoo uses *portage *packaging system which is based on *BSD*-style by
compiling source code of packages.To make a complete system with the
packages like X11, gnome , kde will take long-time.
Try this, reach me if you have any problems.
