Sorry, I dont speak Portugese.
I'd look for a more mature distro to install. This looks like a hobby for someone.

Well I really want to use Portage, because I hear it can install anything with a simple command vs. searching, dlwnloading, un-tar or un-zipping, then installing all manually...anything good that will help me do this? (I am pretty new to linux, used Ubuntu for a little while and that's it, I would prefer to learn and use use KDE (even though Gnome seems better to me...) Gentoo has never properly installed for me and i don't know why, so I'm searching for something with Portage or a distro that's even better/as good including a simple installer like portage.

How about Mandriva updated using urpmi?

Okay, before I get pelted with snowballs by Slackware users, it's actually a fairly n00b friendly way of keeping your system updated.

Or Ubuntu using Synaptic (apt-get).

Dude, I only wish I could get Ubuntu (or rather, Kubuntu) on my ABIT board running a PII 450mhz, 384 MB RAM, running a RIVA TNT 16MB AGP...


Oh well...someday.

I think the dude hit the wrong distro. There a few of the so call "source" distros that like their users to get the hands dirty by installing each component individually. It works great for a newbie if he/she knows what each program is supposed to do, let alone the difference between them.

There are distros who would give you couple hundreds of packages up front and install all them by a click of the mouse and let you you have a full access to the system by the time you fetch a cup of tea back.

Gentoo belongs to the former.

The majority, say 85% if not 95%, of the current distros belong to the latter.

There are Live CD distros that let you have a taste of it but cannot be installed into a hard disk but there are still plenty that do both Live CD and installation in the hard disk with an icon at the desktop labelled "Install me". Think this group is the best. You see it , you like it, it works OK for the hard ware then you can choose to put it into the hard disk.
