What is the Gentoo Handbook?
The Gentoo Handbook is an effort to centralize documentation into a coherent handbook. This handbook contains the installation instructions for an Internet-based installation and some additional sections for working with Gentoo’s native software tools such as the OpenRC init system and the Portage package manager.
How do I configure the network card in Gentoo?
To get started configuring the network card, tell the Gentoo RC system about it. This is done by creating a symbolic link from net.lo to net.eth0 (or whatever the network interface name is on the system) in /etc/init.d . Gentoo’s RC system now knows about that interface.
What is the difference between Gentoo and Gentoo Portage?
Gentoo provides software separated in several branches, depending on stability and architectural support. “Mixing Software Branches” explains how these branches can be configured and how to override this separation individually. Portage comes with a few extra tools that might make the Gentoo experience even better.
Is it possible to switch Gentoo from OpenRC to systemd?
Unfortunately, the corresponding installation handbook sections to a large extent still need to be written or are work in progress. It is possible to switch a running Gentoo installation from OpenRC to systemd and back. However, this requires some effort and is outside the scope of the installation manual.
