Tried it, hate it.
I really don't want to start a flame on this and I do understand why some people might like it. My opinion: if you don't have a really good reason to try it, then save yourself the pain.
Nobody told me how sucky the gentoo kernel sources were, so after trying to figure out for two days why so many things screwed up at boot, I eventually moved over to the vanilla sources, which (obviously) seem better.
My Zip drive won't work no matter what I do. SCSI support is enabled, etc. etc. but the dev just never shows up.
The standard NVIDIA driver packages, which work on every single other distro I have seen, are a nightmare to get working properly and I still have no GLX with no good reason (I felt like I was in a M$ product with this one, no logical explanation, just a stupid error).
I had BIG network card problems until I used the vanilla kernel.
The Installation instructions supply newbies with lines and lines of code that they happily bash in, without ever explaining what it does, so the instructions work, but don't expect to learn anything without the help of the LDP. The learning comes in when you try and fix Gentoo after installing it!
Portage sounds like a good idea until you spend 2 hours installing a _small_ piece of software... the reason? Speed, stream-lining, etc. - But Wait! I notice no difference in the speed between Mandrake and Gentoo.... so why waste so much time? Even with GRP, packages will still take longer to compile then they are worth.
People complain about the patched packages and sources that Mandrake supply, but Gentoo is just as patched. The difference? Mandrake's patches actually work!
I just wasted four days of my life on a distro that might be worth something one day (I think they still have LOTS of work to do on it), but does nothing for me now. So I might not know enough to fix it.... why should I have to fix it? When I muck around with Slackware, it is difficult, but there are good reasons for things not working, etc.
Give me Mandy, give me urpmi and the drakes. Gentoo blows.
SoulSe gives away his Gentoo CDs and hops along to order Debian...
Please remember: my knowledge is limited and I have just wasted four frustrating days of my life... so take this post from whence it comes, I'm just trying to save some other n00bs the pain that Gentoo caused me.

Good luck in that endeavor, old friend :-) You said a lot of stuff that left open the door for flamewars. This post will be watched closely....by me if by no one else 
Gentoo's not meant to be easy to install or easy to get up and running. It's intended for you to learn how to get it going. It took me a while to get my burner working in Gentoo, but there was a thread on their board that helped a good bit. NVIDIA drivers, well, I don't remember them, but if I don't remember then I probably didn't have any issues....so I'm not sure what was going on there for you.
Anywho, taking some of your complaints into consideration, I suggest Arch if you want to try something new (if you haven't tried it). I like it better than I liked Gentoo, and a lot of your complaints are covered.
Hey, it's just my opinion. I now understand why Gentoo's user board has so many registered users - you can't get it working without 24 hour support 
Maybe I should have been nicer... but if I save one n00b some pain, then it was worth it.

I've been using Gentoo about 7 months and i love it. Sure installs take a longer than binary rpms/targz/debs/etc, but i'm a patient person, the feartures in portage (such as the USE variable) make it well worth it IMHO.
As for the Nvidia drivers, i guess you didn't read the install guide very well," emerge nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel", boom, done. Works great.(and it does point that out in the install guide)
Problem with gentoo-sources, i personally don't have a problem with them, but there are so many sources you could emerge......
And I find the install guide to be quite informative, and easy to follow.
I've recently converted a friend over to linux, and when he was first using mandy, he would drive me crazy cause he couldn't figure anything out. He had to hack so drivers, and scripts to get a few things working on his laptop, with newer hardware. and madrake didn't like the changes. He finally got frustrated and installed what i use, gentoo. Couldn't of been happier. "Gentoo is awsome, not like pain-in-the-ass-mandrake." is what he said.
But anyway, it's only a matter of opinion and experience. I know debian is a great distro, but I've had bad experiences with it, nothing ever worked. So I don't use it. That's what linux is about, choice.
As tyme said, this could turn into a flame war.

HJ: Cool down, you don't know me. I take the piss all the time. You will notice that the users on this board who do know me (mods included) are not taking me seriously... <- that means 'tounge out' - and mine is now in my cheek.
I get asked to recommend distros to n00bs all the time. IN MY OPINION Gentoo is not a good choice for them.
If it works for you, great. I actually payed for this distro... does that mean nothing to you? I am going to carry on playing with it, but I will keep Mandy as my primary distro... because it works for me.
If you took offence to my posts then I am sorry. I'll look out for you on the Gentoo boards so you can help me with my issues... and maybe even prove me wrong.
I spent four days wih Gentoo, and these have been my experiences. it's as simple as that, the rest is me taking the piss (as usual).

Please all go and read my post on the Gentoo forum. Yes, I did edit it - because I realised that I did not give enough info, thanks to HJ for pointing that out.
Sorry I fliped out on you, I just get very agrivated with people that shutdown and diss other distoros, especially when they don't seem to be giving it much effort.
Well, I like Gentoo - it gives me a nice clean working system.
I'd have to say, though, that if you are looking for a new distro and don't like gentoo - give arch a try, I quite liked it.
One piece of advice though - when you try a new distro, stick at it for at least a week - if not two regardless of how frustrating it is. This is the best way to really learn something and to find out if your problems are just teething problems or real issues with the distro

Well now, I wasn't dissing it for everyone, mostly for n00bs and for myself. I also get tense when people rip off Mandrake. So what? Nobody forces you to use a distro, I would have appreciated someone posting a warning for n00bs, like I did, before I tried it.

Strange... it's been exactly a week :wink: I got my CDs last Monday (check my other post). Anyway, after spending so much time to get it installed, I'll carry on with it for a little while longer. But if I can't even get my zip drive working, it's gonna take a pleasant flight out of my bedroom widnow.
Bear in mind that if it works in Mandrake it should, in theory, be able to work in gentoo - it'll just take more work.
It has to be said that I've read of a couple of other people finding things work much more easily with the vanilla sources. I've just finished compiling it myself as a matter of fact (with only the pre-empt patch) to see if it gives me any advantage on my system

Seriouly, SoulSe you knew going into it from previous converstaions that Gentoo wasn't going to be extremely easy to install and use right off the bat, I gave you plenty of fare warnings, I think? But that is why YOU said you wanted to use it to learn more and not rely on all the MDK gui tools. Well, I think your starting to learn more about Linux now.

I think you just ran into the Gentoo noob's inital :banghead: , your just frusterated becuase it didn't do everything mdk did for you and now you need to take a couple of deep breaths, sit back read some forum searches and clear you mind and think what isn't working? How can I make it work? You need to think out side the Mandrake box and figure out what you can do to make it work. It's NO different than using Debian, Slackware, Arch or LFS, you will have to do some inital hard work to get it going the right way, but after that things will make more sense and you will start seeing a bigger picture of the way MDK/RH/SuSE work, why those GUI tools work and what there are really doing behind the pretty pictures.

It's people like you that make this the best freakin' users' board in the World.... *sob* come here, man... *sob*
You summed it up very well. Although there are some things that just aren't freakin' working. Sure, I am used to Mandrake, etc. etc. But, I have compiled many a kernel in my time and when it comes to that _very important_ stage of the game, I like to think that I know what I'm doing. So why, after compiling the kernel in Gentoo the exact same way I have done it for other distros, my zip drive won't work? I'm willing to submit that I might have forgotten or overlooked something... but the chances are minute. I have SCSI compiled in with all the necessary modules, etc. etc.
I haven't given up yet, but feel my pain:
- X freezes the WHOLE time, so I have to reset (no ctrl+alt+anything)
- I get 18 insmod errors on boot, God alone knows why.
- I can't get my standard US-layout keyboard working properly(this one is an especially lovely little problem
).
- I can't get my zip drive, where I backed up all my important configuration files, working!
And that's just the big stuff....
Anyway, yes, I am learning something, but like I said: installing Gentoo will teach you nothing, it's forcing it to work where the learning comes in.
Thank God for you all.... and Mandrake. If you don't like Mandy, try using some of the other distros out there, you will fall in love with her all over again.
Gentoo does test your patience but nothing a drink and a cigarette can't fix. I personally like Gentoo although I have taken a break from getting some of the things to work. Good luck and if you need any help by all means please ask and if I can help I will although I'm not that far ahead of you 8)

but seriously, Mandrake is nice sometimes. Every now and then I get annoyed that things don't "just work" and I have to hunt for answers, but in the end I learn something new so I tend to stick it out....
What kind of zip drive is it?
All the insmod errors are probably mod's built into the kernel and they don't know were to go because there hardware isn't there.
Xfee, don't know why it's locking up on you. Anything specific your doing when it comes to a hault?
Keyboard, no idea. Is it just a standard keyboard and you choose the correct setting in xfree86config?

Are the insmod errors on boot or login? If it's login then loads of people (including myself) have had this issue. There seems to be some kind of bug or something that causes them to be generated - even though there aren't any problems (I know you have problems but you know what I mean).
The solution is simply to pretend it isn't happening by installing and starting metalog. Add it to the default runlevel. These errors just get logged but you don't have to worry about them any more - and I really don't think there's anything to worry about...

the install of gentoo was a snap but a huge waste of time. come on 16v hours for a marginal speed increase on the application use regularily (yes i did use modest CFLAGS...actually very basic CFLAGS) i used everything i knew and searched the forum for the rest. when i did ask question (mostly if not 100% on irc). they mostly went unanswered or no one wanted to help. while i got the system mostly working it was a bug fest.
heck even stuff worked better for me when i compiled the source myself rather than use portage.
i understand they have fixed alot but please don't assume that some of us dislike gentoo because we are idiots. to me gento is a waste of time. too much goes in for very little in return.
on the otherhand you are correct that it is very annoying when a newcomer is vague or simply not even putting in an effort to even help themselves.
Well, I put in a lot of work, so I don't know where that assumption comes from, but I'm tired of defending myself, so back to my problems:
X Freezing is the biggest one. I posted on the Gentoo board and, as with Sarah, no-one seems to care, so back to the MANDRAKE users board for my Gentoo help:
X only freezes at some points, it is very weird: When I open up Mozilla/Firebird and start typing an address, it freezes religiously! If I open up Gnibbles, I can move the snake around, but the moment I touch a 'fruit' - the system freezes! This is the weirdest thing I have ever seen, and VERY irritating.
The insmod errors refer to my network card (Realtek), which is working! I'll look at my kernel setup again, but, as I said before, I've done this before in the same way without problems. The errors are on boot.
My Zip drive is a 250MB Parallel port Iomega.
Also, openoffice isn't on my cds! Yes, I copied my portage tree off the cds and all the other packages on the CD (Gnome, etc.) are there.
And so we go... thanks for the help, as usual :wink:

Those of us who hang here alot are spoiled by the rapid response times!! :wink: Other boards require days before a response, if any. Let's face it, we are the best at response time. So, SoulSe, the others aren't bad, we are just good.
Gentoo takes alot of work. I had my box back in about three days, and tweaking took a week. (I had to get used to it!) Archlinux was up in a few hours, and again tweaking took a week. Between the two, gentoo was cool, but Arch was real linuxish. (NOT A FLAME BAIT) I don't even use Mandrake update! I do stuff manually because, well, I don't like automatic-fix-my box-but-don't-tell-me-what-or-why! Personally, I learned more from arch than gentoo, but that's me. In the end, I made my box look and act identically with both gentoo and arch. If I didn't have broadband, I would have never used gentoo at all. It would have simply taken too long.
Every distro has a market. None of them are "bad" and none of then are for everybody. Stating pro's and con's is good conversation. Getting hot and bothered about it is really quite pointless. :wink:

Are you getting any log messages from XFree?
ZIP drive, I have no experience with, (don't have one) someone has to have one and be able to help you with that, we hope. :wink:
try
emerge -k openoffice-bin
Did you see that in /usr/portage/packages/All ?

Where are the X logs again? Haven't needed them since Mandy 8.1 :wink:

This whole deal sounds sorta like my week-long Debian fiasco.
I asked question after question, and always got excellent replies from a few of you guys, BUT eventually it was too much for me.
The finishing blow came when I accidently installed SuSE over the Debian, and that actually turned out to be a good thing, cuz I really like it, it all makes a lot of sense, even to me, and configured almost painlessly.
I still use primarily Mandrake, but I've really taken a liking to the German's SuSE as well.
They are both excellent.

Here is some stuff I have been doing: I installed fluxbox, to see if the problem persisted with other WMs, it did occur, exactly the same way. So the problem is most likely with X. I tried changing keyboard setting and edited out the standard vga setup in XFree86Config, to force ue of nvidia drivers. GLX errors show up in XFree's logs, although when running glxinfo, no problems show up. Also, I am aware of the redundant resolutions and I will edit them out this evening, I doubt they could be causing the problem as it loads my default 1280x1024.
Here is my XFree log:
EDIT: Sorry, I copied my old Mandrake XF86Config file by mistake, although it might be important to note that I tried that file as well, without any luck.

EDIT: Sorry, I copied my old Mandrake XF86Config file by mistake, although it might be important to note that I tried that file as well, without any luck.
