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 does not 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 would not 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.

Searching the Knowledge Base
Go to the Advanced Search, type in some search terms in the search box, make sure Knowledge Base is selected, and click search.
