[Cialug] meeting

[David Champion]

Considering we have the installfest coming up Saturday, it might be a 
good idea to get an overview of Gentoo, so we can talk about it with a 
little bit of authority. This was discussed on the AmesFUG list last 
week prior to their installfest. The general concensus was that Gentoo 
probably wasn't a good choice for an Installfest installation - the most 
optimistic people were estimating a 2 hour install time for a gentoo 
pro, and it's not for the uninitiated.

I would recommend installing Mandrake, Fedora, or Debian, and having a 
bunch of Knoppix CD's.
