i had a go at installing gentoo 2006.1 on my laptop tonight, to mess around with that. but there were some issues, and x couldn't start, so i couldn't do the nice livecd graphical install. the system installed okay through the command-line dialog, however.. my screen is still fucked and running startx throws errors back at me. i was googling for help through links until i got fed up. i have a feeling that the solution to the problem may involve a re-install anyways..
i think i'll have fewer headaches if i stick to more useable distros. (i tested the livecd on my desktop; it just hangs up at a black screen after starting x and gdm.. and, like i said, x totally fails running from the livecd on my laptop.. wtf machines does it actually work on!?!)
what's annoying is really, all i have to do is type "emerge kde" and it's all systems go on my laptop, if i could get x to start. this shit makes me angry too easily.
