It might be a good idea to list system requirements, for example minimum memory and hard drive space for installation. I was unable to locate this in the FAQ or Handbook. Google searches seem to bring up requirements specified by magazines that distribute Gentoo. Requirements exist in Gentoo MIPS documentation but not for x86. Was a piece of cake to find Redhat requirements. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
in http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=2 which stated the harware requirements clearly. * You need at least 1 Gb of free disk space * If you do not use prebuilt packages, you need at least 300 Mb of memory (RAM + swap) * You need a 486+ processor and at least 64 megabytes of memory
The requirements are also directly linked from the support page at http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/support.xml
