There won't be time! We have set-up 5 2000MHz, several ~1000Mhz and the OSTC's own bank of 300MHz machines as a compile farm. While Gentoo needs an experienced person to set it up, it's just a complete doddle to install and update things. RPM hell is a thing of the past! I'll never, ever, change back to a binary distribution!!! -- C. S.
