Introductie
Het Gentoo handboek heeft als doel de documentatie de centraliseren in een coherent handboek. Dit handboek bevat de installatie instructies voor internet-installatie en de belangrijkste gedeeltes over het werken met Gentoo en Portage

Architecturen
Gentoo Linux is beschikbaar voor meerdere architecturen. Maar wat is een architectuur juist?

Een "architectuur" is een familie van CPUs (processoren) die dezelfde instructieset ondersteunen. De 2 meest prominente architecturen in de desktop en laptop wereld zijn de architectuur en de x86_64 architectuur (waar naar wordt verwezen met de  notatie). Maar er bestaan nog talrijke andere architecturen, zoals, , (PowerPc familie), , etc. ...

A distribution as versatile as Gentoo supports many architectures. For that reason, you'll find that our Gentoo Handbooks are offered for many of the supported architectures. However, that might lead to some confusion as not all users are aware of the differences. Some are only aware of the CPU type or name that their system is a part of (like i686 or Intel Core i7). Below you will find a quick summary of the supported architectures and the abbreviation used in Gentoo. However, most people that do not know the architecture of their system are mostly interested in or.

Het handboek bekijken
The list below gives a high-level overview of the architectures supported by various Gentoo Linux projects. It is important to choose the correct architecture before proceeding with the associated Installation section of a Handbook. Be sure to verify the CPU's architecture before moving onward.

A note for new Gentoo users: if the CPU is less than five years old and the manufacturer is either Intel or AMD, choosing the AMD64 Handbook is probably the correct route.

Kan het handboek niet automatisch gegenereerd worden voor elke keuze?
The handbook maintainers have opted to write on a per-architecture level using Gentoo's default init system (OpenRC) and basic partitioning schemes. The point of the Handbook is to get a bare-bones Gentoo system up and running, not to cover all possible installation paths (irregular partitioning, init systems, kernel configuration, system management utilities, etc.).

Concepts such as advanced partitioning, non-generic kernel configuration, and alternate init systems are explained other areas around the wiki in publicly modifiable namespace (hint: anyone with wiki account can edit them!).

We ask our readers to search wiki and discover what is already available before requesting a new section or addition to be added to the Handbook. If you believe a new generic section is necessary to add to the Handbook, then propose a request by following the instructions below.

Ik vind nergens informatie voor de stage1 installatie. Waar kan ik deze terugvinden?
Instructions on using a stage1 or stage2 tarball are now available in the Gentoo FAQ. A stage3 installation is the only supported method of installation.

Hoe kan ik het handboek aanpassen?
Suggestions, comments, or ideas on how to make the Handbook better can be reported to the Handbook project via the Discussion page of the respective article. Documentation is made for the community, so community feedback is well appreciated.

Be aware that most decisions made while developing documentation are based on a consensus-model. It is impossible to write or structure documentation in such a way that renders every reader happy.

Those who open discussions with the goal of improving the Handbook must be able to accept a "No" as an answer. Typically "No" is used when we believe the current implementation is beneficial for the majority of readers.

In order to properly track open issues we ask you to add the Talk template to each discussion you open. Something similar to what is seen in the following example will suffice:

The  code at the end of the example inserts a dated signature when the page is saved or previewed. This code can either be typed in manually or generated by using the Signature and timestamp button in the edit toolbar. Wiki editors will refer to this as 'signing a discussion.' Please remember to sign each comment made on discussion pages.
