Knowledge Base:Main Page

The Knowledge Base section in the Gentoo Wiki provides quick answers to questions and issues that might come up during any activity on a Gentoo Linux system.

By providing a knowledge base section, specific issues can be described (even when they hit a very small user base) and documented whereas more generic questions can be described in a small entry, referring to the various other resources that help the user further in his quest.

Structure
Each entry in the knowledge base is structured as follows:

An entry should be specific enough so that the entry doesn't blow up with several dozen methods of resolving. When an entry is growing too large, it should be split into multiple entries.

Allowed entries
There is no reason why content would or wouldn't be allowed, as long as its structure is as described above and the entry is sufficiently specific so that no double entries exist that describe the same issue, nor that entries exist that span several dozen of issues and resolutions.
