How long would it take an average programmer to install Gentoo

From a stage 3 and including compile time on a good machine I'd say around 5 hours

They wouldn't need extra time to learn the process and troubleshoot problems along the way?

Are you sure she's a REAL shaman?

>>57845882
Maybe... But the forums and wiki are quite good nowadays and most problems are solved within minute if you're not completely shit at googling

oh i cannot into gentoo therefore im a bad programmer.

>>57845858
Depends on how fast their computer is.

>>57846218
Not counting compiling time unless it is wasted time.

I've done multiple gentoo installations on a 2.4ghz celeron from 2003.

>>57845858
You don't need to program anything.

great job!

>>57847730
Ok. But I wonder about where the the average programmer's capabilities fall when it comes to doing so-called "tech expert" stuff like installing Gentoo Linux

>>57848183
>following step by step instructions on a handbook to install gentoo is considered being a tech expert

>>57847712
wow dude do you have a blog?

did you use a mouse, or just pure keyboard?

monitor???

>>57845858
As long as it takes to read the wikiz

>>57845858
I'm not a "programmer", and I can get Gentoo to a working GUI (no Genkernel too) within ~4 hours (on an i3 U model).

>>57845875
You can get 4-5 hours on even a decent machine made in 2007. The installgentoo wiki greatly exaggerates how long it takes to install gentoo.

>>57845906
But how can I Google while my computer is compiling?

>>57849279
If you have enough ram, you can have a terminal and the browser working at the same time.

Why the fuck people think Gentoo is just for programmers? That is just retarded.

>>57845858
However long they would need to compile/download stuff plus 15 minutes typing the commands from the guide.

Iktf my brother

>>57850956
Would they understand everything in the wiki without having to go to google to look up terms?
