I would like to practice installing Gentoo from scratch since I like the idea of the distro, but I’m quite new to Linux at all and only had experience with Debian. I suppose my very basic knowledge of terminal isn’t enough to install Gentoo, even with the handbook. So, what would you recommend to learn or practice before I actually try installing Gentoo? Also, any specific tips on installing Gentoo inside a VM?
@pixeldaemon You always install gentoo from an “already working” system. Basically, all yer gonna do is partition/format the drive, explode the file system to it, and chroot over to set shit up. You can easily build gentoo on an external drive on one (more powerful) computer, and throw it in the one it’s for when yer done. This is a very common way of installing it on an SBC.
