I am new to Gentoo but I am familiar with the easier Linux versions. So I decided to go for Gentoo but my problem is even though I followed the handbook verbatim I can not get into a graphical desktop. I get the command line and then type in startx but it says command not found. Any help would be great.

The Install guide only installs a basic system. ie Text Mode. You still need to emerge X and a WM

This may help http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/desktop.xml
