I won't say that I am a master gentoo user... Cause I'm not but I do know a little about installing it.
I used the stage 2 install after one failed attempt a while ago while installing from stage 1. From what I can tell (Although I am going to try a stage one sometime soon) stage 2 makes a nice bargain between speed of install and optimization for your system. Expecially for a first time installer who might not know all the keys used for the compiler.
My system currently has gentoo running as the master OS and WinXP running second. Once I am done with school and have more freedom with what programs I have to run I may try a linux only system.
Sorry if I rambled a little bit. The main point is ask if you have any questions.
and do use the install guides on the gentoo site. They are quite helpful
BTW I compiled it with a 2.4GHz 512MB Laptop in less then an afternoon... although thats just the core
