Installing Gentoo - Emerge System Utilities
Now that your make.conf file is ready to go, you can emerge some of the utilities necessary for every Linux system. Before we go ahead with the emerge, here is a brief description of what we are installing and what they do.
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources: The source files needed to build the system kernel.
sys-apps/pciutils: A diagnostic utility, used to identify the hardware components in your system.
app-admin/syslog-ng: A system logger, which records your system events to the file /var/log/messages.
sys-process/vixie-cron: A cron daemon, used for scheduling tasks. This is the Linux equivalent of the Windows Task Scheduler.
net-misc/dhcpcd: A DHCP client, capable of interfacing with your network hardware.
net-misc/openssh: An ssh daemon, allowing you to connect to your system remotely over a network connection.
net-misc/ntp: A network time protocol daemon, ensuring your system time is accurate.
# emerge -av gentoo-sources pciutils syslog-ng vixie-cron dhcpcd openssh ntp
Once the emerge has completed, you can move on to Configuring System Services.
