I thought it was funny  

#464385
<@insomnia> it only takes three commands to install Gentoo
<@insomnia> cfdisk /dev/hda && mkfs.xfs /dev/hda1 && mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo/ && chroot /mnt/gentoo/ && env-update && . /etc/profile && emerge sync && cd /usr/portage && scripts/bootsrap.sh && emerge system && emerge vim && vi /etc/fstab && emerge gentoo-dev-sources && cd /usr/src/linux && make menuconfig && make install modules_install && emerge gnome mozilla-firefox openoffice && emerge grub && cp /boot/grub/grub.conf.sample /boot/grub/grub.conf && vi /boot/grub/grub.conf && grub && init 6
<@insomnia> that's the first one

Re: effing linux
Been there, done that, still don't like their software patents thing, but more power to the not-Microsoft crowd.

One of these days Linux will be easy enough for a grandmother to install - that day will of course be the day that IM-using teenagers are grandmothers.

hehe, I like that :)


picky criticisms:

  • he left out extracting the stage tarball after mounting and before chrooting, and also extracting the initial portage tarball

  • I'm not sure, but I think once you chroot, you're in a new shell, and have to start with a new command there

  • No need to bootstrap and install vi if you use the stage3 tarball instead

  • gentoo can configure the kernel for you, so that would decrease the number of interactive commands

  • if editing /etc/fstab was moved to the end somewhere, then the process could be left unattended from the initial command until the editing right before the reboot

You are now officially funnier than that guy, because you are that much more right.

granted, I haven't ever even looked @ gentoo, but counting between the double &s, there appear to be 25 different unique commands, not one, even though && is used to append commands together...

but still, script that & what a quick setup/install!

The "just three simple commands" part is really where the joke is for the gentoo zealots.
