Picking Gentoo for that pic is a dirty trick. Gentoo users wanted it to be that way, on purpose.

Yes but what the hell is going on in that linux install window

Looks like a Gentoo install. Set the hard disk up ready for use, put some Gentoo files on it, switch to running from the hard disk instead of the install CD or USB stick, download more Gentoo stuff, compile and install a Linux kernel.

Assuming you're not talking about the one with three languages and a continue button, if you don't get that one I can't really help you.
