[TriLUG] Gentoo linux

[Vestal, Roy L.]

Yes I understand that. But I've never used it to install Linux before. On
top of that, I don't really know how do use Linux fdisk, format in Solaris,
yes, fdisk in Linux, no.

You know that vmware sets up a "fake" system, don't you?

When you install (Anything) on top of vmware, the distribution will see the 
(fake/virtual) PC set up by VmWare. And this PC has nothing to do with the
PC 
that you own.
