I would like to tap into the #Gentoo Fediverse mind pool one more time if I could have some advice.

I am currently on the Gentoo-dist bin kernel and would like start compiling and customizing my own kernel, but I have never done anything like that before.

So here are my questions:

- What is the best way to start?
- Are there any good tools/scripts/etc that I should use?
- Is there anything I could/should do to protect myself for goofing up?

Thank you for your time!
