taking a couple of older ones, and trying things like Gentoo on them, so I learn more about how things work. As I am not sure what I know, and what distro's like Suse, help make easy for me.
Why Gentoo? It's not even hard to install, if you want something that REALLY makes you work try Detuxx, Linux from Hell. A gentoo fan boy I know decided to try it and gave up.
Simply to make me learn more of the command line, and text functions. Not to give myself a headache.
So why not open a terminal in SUSE and as root type init 3? I don't understand this... The gentoo install is stupid at stage 1 and the only reason peopel do it is for ego. Do you think that .... 2% speed increase maybe? Means anything to a user? No. And why did you send this to me off list, if I read and replied to you I'm obviously on this list. If you want to learn more of the "command line" then open a konsole and do it.
I also want to expand out the other way, and run x remotely (not vnc).
Just to learn.
So set up SSH and X11....
