# General Setup
1. Follow the Gentoo Handbook for installing Gentoo
[Gentoo Handbook](http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/)
Generally, you can just use the amd64 version of Gentoo, as most servers now are 64-bit compatible
[amd64 handbook](http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml)
2. Install LLVM/Clang (Optional)
Clang is a faster compiler than the default GCC. It produces binary as fast, or faster than GCC. To set up clang,
run `emerge llvm clang`
and add these to lines to the top of your `/etc/make.conf` file
CC=/usr/bin/clang
CXX=/usr/bin/clang++
If a package fails to compile with clang, you can comment out those lines, and recompile the package with GCC.
