Desktop setup

[oshman]

First - let me apologize if I may come off dumb, This is my first go with Gentoo. I've been using Fedora Core 4 a year and wanted to try something new.

Ok. - The install went pretty smooth as I followed direction and used genkernel. Got grub configured properly after about an hour. Now- I just want to get gnome setup. I am learning about "USE", flags, emerge and all the other good gentoo stuff. Could someone relay the quickest, easiest way to setup Gnome?

Thnx

Have you seen this?:

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gnome-config.xml

It worked for me.

type:

emerge xorg-x11 xscreensaver gnome

that will get it installed you will prolly want to configure X though unless you already have a working xorg.conf. Check out the documentation section there is a guide to setting up a desktop with X.
