Gentoo Linux

[Charles, Joshua Micah (UMKC-Student)]

well, it's a compromise.  There exists some hardware detection, but
you'll do a lot of configuring by hand.  This is some of the benefits of
gentoo.  I done about 6 or 7 installs of it, and the hardest part is
always getting Xfree86 to work.  Everything else was pretty easy.

Okay, it looks like the favored distro other than Debian and SuSE (and
Slackware from one vocal supporter :), is Gentoo.

Does Gentoo do any hardware autodetection, or will I still be stuck
picking from lists, and guessing at settings, and hoping I got the right
driver?
