I have a laptop that I want to do a Gentoo install on. We could use that for showing a stage3 "fast" install and switch to Mike's small form factor for post-install. I also have a small form factor PC I could bring in that has Gentoo on it if necessary.
HI Ryan and Mike, Bring your machines to the meeting if you can. I think that will work well in conjunction with whomever volunteers to give us all an introduction to Gentoo (hint: volunteer(s) still sought). Thanks, Andy
I think discussing what makes Gentoo unique, its pros and cons, will be great. If we're going to discuss why distro is better (or worse) than other than I say Debian. I say this because the "pretty" distros (SuSe, Mandrake, Fedora) are too different for a fair comparison. I also say this because I switched to Gentoo after trying a little bit of Debian.
Sincerely, Ryan Caron

I have a recently installed Gentoo on a small form factor PC i can volunteer...its much easier to carry around than a big machine is.
I suspect the meeting would be a begining the Gentoo install and since there isnt enough time to wait, we can cut over to an installed system.
I don't mind sharing what I know, but I know nothing more then what it looks like at the end.
Let me know and I can plan to bring this machine in.
thanks Mike

Hi everybody,
Wow...time flies...its nearly meeting time again.
Based on what I saw on the mailing list recently, I'm wondering if we should have a "Gentoo" meeting. Who would like to volunteer to do this (it could be more than one)? Here is a possible outline:
- what is Gentoo? - why Gentoo vs. <pick_another_distro>? - demo an install (albeit a "shortcut" with everything precompiled) - pros / cons - cool features!
Perhaps one person could give the group an overview, while a couple of other people demo other aspects of Gentoo.
To those of you already running Gentoo: does this make sense?
Thanks,
