I loved Gentoo, It was an amazing learning experience and taught me a ton about how Linux worked and was put together. It also taught me what Linux really was and what a distro was. and the difference.

I would not use it as a server or for my laptop/desktop. But I appreciated what it did for me.

I had the glorious opportunity to "fix" a Gentoo installation for a local company.  The business chose Gentoo because that's what the owner's 18 year old son knew, then the son didn't want to be daddy's tech support any more.  I inserted the CentOS installation DVD and fixed it.

You will know everything you should know about linux once you have installed gentoo once without assistance (but documentaton is OK), and then compiled chromium a single time. The compiling chromium part is the most important lesson.

Hey I am trying to determine what I do not know about Linux (Ubuntu).

I watched each of these videos by Networkchuck.  He covers a lot and if there is anyone wanting to build more Linux muscle, then I would recommend this series.  I found a few things that I did not know or that I might need to know more about.  He does not cover logs nor does he cover Linux networking.

All in all I think it is a good set of videos for anyone wanting to level up that may be, like me, self taught, that may have some missing skills.
