Gentoo Install

[trekiej]

I am planning to install Gentoo to Virtual Box. I found the Xamiga build instructions by Fractalyte or Fraccy he uses Gentoo as an example.
I have never installed Gentoo before and found that there is a Stage 3 tarball needed.
I have not used that before.

Should I use Gentoo or do you think Ubuntu or Debian 6 to do the same?
I do not mind reading their handbook. I am looking for an easier path.
Also will VBox be able to work as a workstation or do I need real hard ware?
I was able to install Xamiga in VBox but it has problems booting.
It would install on real hardware and it seemed grub has a problems with HD's
It was a HD0 and SD0 mix up.

Thanks.

I do not know how it will go. I have not read the hand book yet.
I remember installing Linux with about 10 floppy disks.
It it no rush.

I still got to find out if I can still build X-amiga with it.
I guess this will stall because of the lack of DSL at families home.
