Hi ,
What models of servers are currently supported for gentoo 2006 version . Is
that version , perfect with the Servers ?
Anything directly or indirectly supported by Linux itself should work
with Gentoo, after all, its linux. There's no such thing as "Gentoo
supported". Of course, for the INSTALL you may find problems, but you
should be able to install gentoo from any LiveCD or already running
distro. Check the manuals. As for a perfect version for servers,
Gentoo is highly customizable, in fact, you only install what you
want, the way you want it, so, you can install either a server or a
desktop the same way, it all depends on the packages you'll choose.
Few days back i tried to install gentoo 2006 , for my DELL Optiplex 170L
machine .( my development pc ). It wont come into the installation GUI , it
failed.
The GUI (as for "Gentoo Installer") is not perfect (yet).
as i guesed , there wasnt proper graphic card driver , that's why it doesnt
load the gui .
anyway , again , i would like to ask , what are the PC models that supported
from gentoo 2006 with gui ?
Any Linux supported graphic card, one way or another. You can even use
the VESA driver that will work with most (if not ALL) cards.
I strongly advice you (as you seem to be a beginner with Gentoo) to
try the manual install instead of the Installer. Do a stage3
installation and at the end, you'll have knowledge about how Gentoo
works and everything necessary to work and mantain your system.
