I just installed Gentoo and I dont know if im having some problems or not..

To my understanding Gentoo was supposed to be a GUI based Operating System... I can log in as root but its all text based.

Now I have no idea if I did something wrong, have more steps to complete, or have to accept the fact that its a text based OS. If it is a GUI based OS how the heck do I get the fancy stuff? :oops:

Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you.
