I've been going a little crazy the last few days, trying to install Gentoo Linux on what is going to be my Multimedia machine for the entertainment center. I have not had much problems installing the base system itself, but the real problems came in installing and configuring the wireless ethernet for the system, since I do not have any CAT5 ethernet jacks downstairs (except for one hiding in the kitchen wall behind the phone). So, to install and configure the box, I had an ethernet cable running down the stairs for the better half of what turned out to be a week. Finally, I get it up and running, and remove the cable. Now that the machine is running happily on its own without crutches, I can start on the interesting stuff, like configuring X and the MythTV suite of digital television tools. It will make a good linux box I can get to over the network, and the display will be for the entertainment/multimedia aspect. I wonder how well this will work... :) I think I love to tinker like this more than I like to use the finished product! Heh... But at least I got past the craziness hurdle of pissy drivers and what not. I do NOT want to have to go through this again, I don't even know what I did differently this time of many attempts to get it to work right... But it works, and it reboots just fine...
