Not really, and that was the first thing I looked at!!! It helps to have a little knowledge of how
Gentoo works, but Redcore can be ran without any knowledge of Gentoo, what-so-ever.
Download the ISO and try Redcore, I have it running on a Ventoy USB.
That reminds me, I have to try Ventoy too

Did 43 updates this morning using the Sisyphus GUI. I had already ran the
emerge -avuND @world command, and I knew the updates were there, I
backed checked with emerge, and sisyphus had indeed pulled all the updates in.
Say what you want, but Redcore has so far made Gentoo easy to live with.
I like the way Sisyphus logs what it is doing in that lower window.
I have a Linux Mag DVD of Redcore. Will give it a go live. Might not be the latest.
Then it might be a candidate for qemu.
Have to finish rainfall analysis in Gentoo first. I am really giving Gentoo a good trial doing things, not just configuring. No failures yet. It runs R perfectly. Writing a document with Latex… it does that fine. Drivers the printer. Connects with ssh or rsync to main computer.
Browser firefox-bin works. Dont use the mailer.
Thats the way to really test an OS… flog it doing real work.

Since I am running the Mate DE on my VBVM thr sisyphus gui pulled in a non-binary
package, so I had to run the “sisyphus upgrade --ebuild” command for the upgrade.
I could have just used “emerge --ask =mate-extra/mate-polkit-1.26.0-r1” for that one
package and then used the sisyphus gui.
This shows the non-binary being installed with dependencies being resolved.

So Sysyphus deals with dependencies like apt does?
Yes, it appears that way.
