The first time I installed Gentoo I was using all the virtual consoles, one for command line and like 10 for links2 on the manual, or forums at gentoo.org.

The second time I installed Gentoo, I started up the ssh daemon, and remotely installed it from from work and at home on my desktop computer. OMG is it soo much easier to install that way. Cause you got like a little console window for command line, and the whole GUI enviornment of your running OS to browse the documentation in comfort.
