I no longer run Gentoo on my Pentium IBM laptop - let's face it with 72M RAM even fluxbox was a bit sluggish! Ha! I do however run it on my 1998 vintage Pentium 3 laptop and before that on a Pentium 3 Coppermine. KDE is sluggish and rebuilding KDE takes a day or so. That's why I don't run a full KDE ... ;p Only some KDE apps on e17. -- Regards, Mick
