  • That was in 2004. So yeah, it went well, as I’m still running Gentoo.

    The installation went ok, but it took ages. I had Compaq Armada E500: Single core 900MHz Pentium III and 256MB of RAM. I had help from my friend who explained in detail what we were doing and why during the installation process.

    Next time I needed to install Gentoo I did it by my self. I had the Gentoo Handbook open on other machine and I followed it carefully. I was surprised by how smoothly the install went.

    Few weeks ago I once again installed Gentoo onto a new machine. 36-cores (two Xeons) and 256GB of RAM. It’s always funny to compare how much more powerful my newest machine is compared to my first Gentoo machine. ;)

    Oh and welcome to Gentoo. ;) If you need any help the forums are a great place to ask.

    P.S.: A great username btw. 😁













  • Zucca@sopuli.xyztoLinux@lemmy.mlHave you ever used the "column" command?

    I’ve taken classes for both Powershell and Linux command line in college, and the PS class focused a lot on those commands while the Linux class never once mentioned column while spending a lot of time on grep.

    column belongs to util-linux

    A Linux class. Never mentioned column. Mind == boggled.

    Ironically grep is its own program. Although commonly it’s the GNU one, so could be considered in the same group as coreutils.
