)First I tried Xebian (since my main linux box used Debian and now Ubuntu) It was cool, but it just left me a bit wanting, its more of a shell of what its older brothers are, and like Debian, the want to make newer packages for it (like Xorg which had to be made for it/with kernel modules)
Now I think im gonna go for Gentoox, as it seems the most actively worked on (unlike the others which seem to have stoped once they got a working one out the door) from what ive been reading in the tutorials/faqs/forums it seems really cool so far.
Now, i see there is 2 main version types, Pro and Home.
From what ive read, it seems that Pro is pretty much the same as home, but without the Xfree/X.org GUI, and other bloated multimedia packages? Or have I misunderstod the main diferences?
If that is the case, could i install pro, and still use its package management system to install Xorg onto it then compile Fluxbox like on my PC, or do i have to compile Xorg/Xfree myself from source and apply patches?
Also, about partitioning, i diddnt see much mention about it in the install instructions, most of the guides are based on the user wanting to maintain their xbox half, i dont need that, its been reformatted multiple times, so if i want the full HD assighned to Gentoox, do i need to take it out and load the HD in my PC and partition it on there? From the few forum posts ive searched on it it seems thats the case, and if so, does Gentoox look for a specific partition scheme layed on the HD ahead of time, or can i go through each partitiona nd give it a mount lable in gentoox?
Thanks guys for your time and reading this, any advice info to fill me in would be awsome
