-====== Gentoo ======
-Gentoo is a source distribution, very efficient and well done, with a very good documentation and community.
-If you want to do something with gentoo (configure sound, install X, etc), first try the official howtos of gentoo, and on the gentoo wiki, by typing "gentoo <thing> howto" in google (or "gentoo guide <chose>" for French documentation). There are really a lot of howtos.
-===== chroot =====
-Chrooting is a well-known procedure for Gentoo users because it is necessary for its installation, and it probably works with other distributions but I'm not sure it is the same syntax.
-Chrooting consists to "change root", to run a system you have not booted on (for example you boot on a live cd, and you chroot to your system and you can run ''emerge'' etc on your system).
-If your system is on hda6 with a reiserfs file system :
-<code bash>
-mount -t reiserfs /dev/hda5 /mnt/gentoo
-mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
-mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
-chroot /mnt/gentoo
-env-update
-source /etc/profile
