Well, this is the first time I've proposed to do a "series", so we'll see if I even stick with it. I'm out to make a Gentoo/Apache server, just to store some files on, and I'm already over my head.
My box is a Gateway 2000, and I don't really know what is inside it. I'm at a serious disadvantage here, but I've installed Gentoo with little more knowledge than I have now, so I think I'm okay.
