OH MY GOD!!!!   I'm emering Gnome.....well I say I'm doing it but I kicked 
it off last night at about 9:30pm and its still rocking and rollin.
Wish I had used Window Maker instead now.
Btw, if I went insane and wanted to try Gnome, KDE and Window 
Maker....would I simply emerge them all ......editing the make.conf file as 
needed and then configure the startup scripts to launch whichever 
environment I wished to get into?  I realize this kind of defeats the 
purpose of building a system with JUST want you want to use but at this 
point I'm still in the "install and play until I break it and start all 
over cycle".  Of course, I need to re-read this but I think I remember 
seeing that I can use portage to back this stuff out and start all over 
again, can't I?  I think I may end up purchasing one of the Linux friendly 
"Ghosting" apps.  It would be nice to set up my own Damn Small Linux or 
Knoppix CD's just to do imaging and/or disaster recovery restoration.  I 
think Morphix might make this relatively easy because you can just load any 
extras as modules.......has anyone done this yet?
