From the installation guide:
Note: A complete Gentoo Linux 2-CD set contains the Gentoo Reference Platform,
which is a complete pre-built Gentoo Linux system including GNOME, KDE,
Mozilla and OpenOffice. The Gentoo Reference Platform ("GRP") was created to
allow rapid Gentoo Linux package installations for those who need this
capability. The "compile from source" functionality, which is the cornerstone
of Gentoo Linux, will always be a fully-supported installation option as
well. The purpose of the GRP is to make Gentoo Linux more convenient for some
users, without impacting Gentoo's powerful "compile from source" installation
process in any way.
Sorry for the late reply... had to sleep!
