I�ve got a 1400Mhz AMD Athlon computer with 256RAM,
and it�s been compiling from 8pm last night an is
still compiling today [10:35am], I don�t know what�s
going on. Even the gentoo installation didn�t take
this long!
This could be because I�m doing from the kde konsole,
and I was asking if someone knew if I could stop the
compiling in the kde konsole and continue it, after I
long out from kde in a virtual konsole(<ALT+CTRL+!).
