I did grab the graphical CD. The graphical CD is nice for systems that it fully supports like my desktop. Using the graphical CD I was able to have a gnome desktop with FF to browse while I waited for Gentoo to get installed. I guess because of space constraints, there is not room for a stage. That is normally not a problem if you have a fast connection. The regular install CD seems to be the best bet though, especially for non-network installs.
