howto be a gentoo snob

For those of you who want to be among the few l33t, here’s a few tips on gaining guru butthead status:

  • Successfully complete a stage1 install using floppies on a Pentium 100 and brag about it to all your friends, family, neighbors, and grocery store clerks.
  • Install Gentoo on your desktop, your workstation, all your servers, your router and your oven, and then make everyone you know feel vastly inferior and worthless for not using it themselves.
  • Get all the binary drivers to work simultaneously in your ohmypoop-speed-sources.
  • Memorize quotes from funroll-loops.org and reference them wherever possible.
  • File bug reports about an ebuild URL being wrong.
  • Finally, make fun of all the n00bs on #gentoo

Happy snobbing. :)
