congratulations! you now have a working gentoo linux system. before we get started on things, lets create a user account for you to work with. You should never have to log into the root account ever again after this. substitute <username> with your desired username.

login: root
password: (your root password)
useradd -m -G users,wheel,audio -s /bin/bash <username>
passwd <username>
Password: <enter your password here>
Re-enter password: <enter your password here>

your user account should now be created. Next, we will emerge sudo,
