that means your iq is at least double digit and you can read, more than average g user

I installed it from debian with chroot, it's no harder than installing debian from debootstrap/minimal or whatever "no installer" installer arch uses
Benjamin Perez
Did you config your kernel manually or did you use genkernel?

>install gentoo
>just a meme
Come on, man... You really think we would advise something if it wasn't Jow Forums approved?

reminder to put these in your make.conf if you haven't already
PORTAGE_NICENESS=19
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--quiet-build --keep-going"
CLEAN_DELAY="3"
also install mirrorselect and run
mirrorselect -s5 -b10 -D
if you haven't already
(the above will select 5 fastes distfile servers and add them to your make.conf)
also, you may wanna edit your /etc/dispatch.conf so it uses colordiff
diff="colordiff -Nu '%s' '%s'"
less-opts="--no-init --quit-if-one-screen -R"
update at least once every 2 weeks so you don't have too much shit to compile
not sure about other laptops, but if you're running it on a thinkpad, you definitely should install thinkfan
the fan by default will never enter full speed mode even when the CPU is under full load (which is when it should enter full speed mode)
make sure you've enabled thinkpad_acpi in the kernel, then create thinkpad_acpi.conf in /etc/modprobe.d/ and add this
options thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1
so modprobe loads thinkpad_acpi with fan control enabled on boot
to enable fan control immediately, just run modprobe thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1
try running echo level 127 > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan to see if it works
(cat /proc/acpi/ibm/fan should say "level: disengaged", echo level auto > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan to set it back to auto)

Of course. The "installing gentoo is hard" meme is exaggerated by newfags winbabies who try to fit in by "learning memes" knowyourmeme.
Everyone who has a brain know that installing gentoo isn't that hard and gentoo is a good distro for what it is for.

I installed gentoo but I didn't like compiling shit (took too long in my pc) but it's great if that's your cup of tea. Also it has the greatest range of architecture support of any distro IIRC.

It's a meme because it takes a lot to install, not because it's hard.
