--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. What separates Gentoo from other distributions?
Gentoo is a Linux based operating system (OS) for computers (x86, PowerPC, UltraSparc and Alpha). This distribution is best suited for experienced users and requires you to be able to hand edit configuration files using a text editor.

You must do the installation by starting your computer from a Live CD (A Linux environment with a collection of needed tools). The whole process is described in detail in the Gentoo Linux Handbook. This is time consuming, but not much harder than following a cookie recipe. You compile all desired software optimized for your system.

1.1. Portage, the Gentoo way of managing software packages
Portage is a true ports (package management) system used by Gentoo Linux in the tradition of BSD ports, but is Python-based and has a number of advanced features including dependencies, fine-grained package management, fake (OpenBSD-style) installs, path sand boxing, safe un-merging, system profiles, virtual packages, configuration file management, and more.

Portage lets you install software packages easy as pie. Want to install unreal-tournament?

emerge unreal-tournament

emerge is the definitive command-line interface to the Portage system. It is primarily used for installing and managing packages. And emerge will automatically handle any dependencies a desired package has.

Read our unofficial emerge user guide for more information on how to use it. You should also read the manual page.

Portage uses description files called ebuild to determine how to build and install packages. These files are stored in /usr/portage/ . You can update this tree and thereby make new versions of software available with the command emerge sync.

1.2. USE flags give you the freedom to install your programs just like you want them
Portage uses a variable called USE to control how packages are compiled and installed. The GNU Midnight Commander can be built with and without support for gpm (Console-based mouse driver), nls (Native Language Support using gettext), samba (suite of SMB and CIFS client/server programs), ncurses (a console display library), X (xfree) and slang (a text display library).

To view a packages use flags, what dependencies it has and how it would be installed, run: View a pkgs useflags/what would be installed:

emerge -pv package

The 'USE' flags are set system wide in /etc/make.conf. They can also be used on a pr. package basis:

USE="ssl -esd -gnome -xmms +ncurses +ipv6 -gtk -cjk" emerge bitchx

Read our unofficial use flag guide for more details.

Look at the file /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc for a list of available USE flags.

1.3. The emerge utility
emerge is the definitive command-line interface to the Portage system. It is primarily used for installing packages and package management. emerge will automatically handle depending package. If you prefer GUI then check out Porthole, a GTK based front end for Portage.

1.3.1. emerges basic command line options
View how a package would be installed:

emerge -pv package

Install:

emerge package

Remove a package:

emerge -C package

Search for packages (package names only):

emerge -s keyword

Search for packages (using their description):

emerge -S keyword

Read our unofficial emerge user guide for more information.

2. etc-update - update your configuration files
When you emerge packages existsing configuration files are kept and the new one that came with the package you just insalled is named ._cfg0000_packagename.

If emerge tells you that there are configuration files that need updateing, then run

etc-update

and follow the simple rules:

if you never changed a config file (or even heard of it), replace the current with the update
if you have changed the config file, merge the files together or better: edit the config file and delete the update
make sure you never simply replace /etc/make.conf with an update
it is a good idea to run etc-update in screen (manual page)
files in /etc/init.d/ should always be replaced with an update
You can use the following find command if you are sure that you do not need to update any of the configuration files etc-update wants you to edit:

find /etc/ -name "._cfg00*" -exec rm {} \;

..but this is generally a bad idea.

The file /etc/etc-update.conf allows you to configure etc-update. You can remove the standard-setting that says -i should be used as an argument for the mv and rm commands that are run when you update your configuration files by using etc-update.

3. Some quick random Gentoo tips..
3.1. Running commands at boot
The services started at boot are selected using *rc-update* , refering to scripts found in */etc/init.d/* . (For details, refer to Gentoo docs: Gentoo Linux Init System

But if you just want to run a command or two, just add them to:

/etc/conf.d/local.start

You can also make commands run when the system is shutdown by placeing the commands in:

/etc/conf.d/local.stop

4. Frequently Asked Questions
4.1. Setting emerge nice level in /etc/make.conf
When you build packages gcc tends to steal all your CPU time. This will make your system seem slow when using it normally, because it's busy doing something else. It may even make xmms skip a beat.

To prevent this, add

PORTAGE_NICENESS="19"

to /etc/make.conf. Every Linux process has a scheduling priority level, -19 being the highest and 19 the lowst. From the command line you can set the nice level when running commands with:

nice -n 19 transcode +foo -bar /your/dvd

nice manual page

Setting the nice level to '-19' might make gcc compile slightly faster but will make your box really laggy.

4.2. How do I run GUI (X11) programs as root?
Gentoo has a security limit on XFree that only allows the same user (from the same machine) use the X server. To run X11 programs as root you must first use the command xhost (xhost localhost) to give other users on the same box permission to use the X server.

$ xhost localhost
$ su -
# kcontrol &
#

4.3. How can I emerge all packages in a category?
If you want all packages in `app-admin` you can do:

for p in /usr/portage/app-admin/* ; do emerge app-admin/$(basename $p); done

asked by Vemon, thanks to Felix for correction

4.4. Best Terminal Font Ever
emerge media-fonts/lfpfonts-fix
Then add /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/lfp-fix to your fontpath in /etc/X11/XF86Config or /etc/X11/fs/config.
Now you can start your terminal with
aterm -fn -lfp-gamow-medium-r-semicondensed--8-80-75-75-c-70-iso8859-1
-fn is a valid option for xterm, rxvt and aterm (and others, common standard)
Thanks to mina. The claim "best font ever" may be subject to different opinions.
