you got gentoo running but cant get ubuntu?! thats crazy talk gentoo is all command line based install, ubuntu is all gui'd, unless your hardware isnt compatible it should be a cake walk
Gentoo is a gui now. But it didn't really help me because it wasn't on the comp that I needed to get it running on. So that comp is probly incompatible.
Well since you said old pc i thought you meant you tried it a long time ago. I used gentoo gui to install on my pc...yeah no luck what so ever, could only do it by command line. Debian is a gentoo based package distro too thats pretty nice.
By old PC I just meant not my new build that I just made. It's a pretty good sytem amd dual core opteron 165 @ 2.7Ghz, 2 gig ram, nvidia 7800gt. I was mainly trying to get linux on my new build since I don't have any OS on it yet.
