Dude, you are supposed to be an "engineering student".
Start doing some serious engineering/programming with
FLOSS.
could be more fun than
installing gentoo from stage 1..
Yes, if you have a decent Internet connection.
i mean do i hav to d/l the
entire source tarball
and emerge it or is there anyway i could jus patch
I think gentoo emerges the latest package and compiles
it from source.
the updates to the
code therby d/l only differences between
versions..
No patching work, I believe.
My documentation for your kind perusal (from stage 3):

I liked Gentoo a lot. It was great fun to build it and
use it.
I will also recommend LFS, if you want to learn a lot.
