I'm currently running a Debian Linux system. I'd like to move over to gentoo, but I'm not exactly sure what the easiest way would be. Mainly from the perspective of partitions: I have separate partitions for root, boot, home, var, tmp and usr. I want to wipe all those clean, except for home, and install gentoo.
Should I just manually remove everything from all my partitions (except home)? Or will gentoo do that for me during installation? If the latter case is true, how do I keep /home from getting erased? One more semi-related question: to make sure I understand this conceptually, using a "stage 3" install should get me up and running the most quickly, but I can still custom-compile most (or all?) of the stage 3 programs, right? Thanks for your feedback!
