It is.. but it's slow going.. but I'm learning A LOT!! and would have it
no other way!  

(When I decided to switch from MSWormOS to Linux -- Mandrake -- I got
O'Reilly's "Running Linux", read it nearly cover2cover, all 600-ish pages,
and was not only running a self-compiled kernel, but had customized my
XF86Config for triple monitor/xinerama, AND had customized my lilo.conf to
allow me to choose to boot /dev/hdc from the BIOS as /dev/hda, and THEN
switch the order back so the REAL /dev/hda was seen as hda again.. all
BEFORE I'd even chosen a mail app under Linux, so I was still booting to
MSWormOS to do mail.  I knew what I wanted and wasn't going to settle for
less, unless it wasn't possible, and then I was going to know WHY
it wasn't possible, difficult tho it was for a newbie to do all that.
That's /exactly/ the way I'm now approaching Gentoo, so yes, it's slow
going, but as back then, when I get it all working, I'll either have it
working MY way, or know definitely WHY that is NOT possible.  <g>  It was
interesting to be already helping folks on the user group that have been
using Gentoo for some time, while I had barely more than a (finally)
bootable system, tho it's coming along now.)
