Hi,

I wish to find out what problems my gentoo OS migh have. Could you please list me log files and tools or things I should look into to discover if something is not working or properly configured?

Thank you,
Spiro

SAngeli,

Read your log files in /var/log, read dmesg. They will tell you if the system has detected anything wrong.
Wrongly configured things will not show up in logs. The system cannot determine what you intended to set in a configuration.
