Machine DetailsWeek 11th/2014, it was really annoying. Dunno why, suddenly my work-horse Lenovo B320 with Gentoo Linux amd64, where bloated Gnome 3 sit, can not boot into GUI. The box went to Gnome 3, since Gentoo Developer "Marked" Gnome-3 as stable. I have been long time gnome fans, for desktop environment. I believed to developer, respect to them who have been spending so much energy and time to develop Gnome 3. Gnome 3 is great to welcome "New Era" of Desktop, Tablet and Pad :-) Gnome 3 is probably very good to run on touch devices. Well, my work-horse is still on "Old Style" with legendary "Mouse" and "Physical Keyboard". Now Gnome 3 can not boot, spent almost day and half along with googling, no lucks. I need a lot desktop and office suite to support my job in running shipping company, but also need the box to serve a hobby to tweak smart phone, compiling android and write android app for personal use
Finally decided to wipe Gentoo System and picked up her little sister, Funtoo. Funtoo developers, served very nice Profile and help a lot to common users to set their machine up, without deep knowledge of Linux system. Funto online guide is also very good, and it's gentoo, thus everybody can refers to gentoo guide
Came in April 2012 from retailer without Operating System, (this have been my choice in buying PC since in touch with linux). Usually retailer will give a discount @ USD 70 - 80 for accepting box without operating system.
