Well, I _do_ use X to run KDE. IIRC from the Gentoo Weekly
Newsletters the new version has better font handling (by always
using a font server), so I would upgrade sooner or later. I'd simply
like to _chose the time_. One reason being: I want to prepare
_myself_ (knowledge-wise;-).

I don't even dare _thinking_ of ever doing an "emerge world";;;-)
Processes taking more than 12 hours are a problem for me, because
the machine is (a) shared between Linux & Windows, and (b) rather
loud <sigh>.
