and most if not all of the content had to be ported
to a new
database. I used to thank the Gentoo community for the _largest_
documentation one could ever find, but now it's just a mess. Sure, you
could get some of them from http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/, but it's no
longer the same. There were plenty of helpful material that newbies to
Gentoo couldn't do without.
I believe the server actually got attacked.. I'm no newbie.. but between
the forums and even just the main documentation listing I still believe
there is enough there. On top of that the documentation is coming back
together.. BTW in terms of audio.. the gentoo pro audio list is fairly
quiet and very friendly......
Anyone who has been running Gentoo can continue to do
so, but if
you're planning to deploy a platform anew I'd advise against Gentoo.
If the trouble is reading documentation or competency, then Sabayon is
a better bet than even Arch.
Sabayon is simply a pre-rolled Gentoo.. (maybe stage 4 or 5 even??) and
yes an excellent point for newbie.. but I found for pro-audio stuff I
was running into dependency hell.. alot easier to start from stage 3
install...
You still have the same control over your system
which is necessary
for most of the Linux audio crowd.
