Gentoo
I posted in newbie but not many answers so im posting here..
Hey everyone, i was planning on getting Gentoo Linux for a comp i am going to be building in the next few weeks. This is what i am to be getting and installing Gentoo on...
Comp-here
Case-case
with a 40 gig HD, 2 80mm fans, and a 120 mm fan-i want to be cooled really well so i might add more
getting a nvida graphics card + more ram + sound blaster audigy in the future when i get enough money..
I think it should run ok, but tell me what you guys/girls think, after i have Gentoo installed i am going to be running these progs mostly(wondering if i can use all on Gentoo)-
{Gnome Desktop-Gdesklets-Fluxbox}-the main stuff
the programs-
WINE(for adobe photoshop+KazaaLite(maybe))
WINEX(for counter-strike and steam)
{The Gimp
XMMS player
Gaim
Mozilla Firefox
ZSNEs}im sure these will all work
So tell me if ya think this would be a stable system and if i can run those programs fine on it, thx
P.S. How can linux tell what temp the pc is at because i saw a few screenshots that showed it

Gentoo has all the pkgs you could want .. alot of them 'bleeding edge'.
The temp temp/fan/voltage pkg is lm-sensors (takes some configuration, as do alot of gentoo pkgs) and the gui app you saw may have bee GKrellm.Me & Myself just ganged up on I....... Now We all have problems..and none of Us are speaking!

Please do not double post questions. You can bump the original (reply to your own post) if necessary, but please do *not* repost the same question.
Their code will be beautiful, even if their desks are buried in 3 feet of crap. - esr
