Brett, I think the best bet in your case is to free up some extra disk space and try Gentoo on a spare partition. I still boot mine from grub on my eWS3.11 partition. Once you are through the pain of the initial installation, I'm sure you will be pleased. Have you ever tried to build Evolution on a Caldera KDE system? RPM/dependency hell is what I call it. On my KDE based Gentoo system I just ran "emerge Evolution" at bed time & the next morning Evolution and all it's dependencies were built and ready to run. Made a believer out of me!
