Well I got the Gentoo CD and did the install over Labor Day. Amazingly
smooth. The bootable CD detected all my hardware, found my ISP, just
perfect. Better and easier than my Caldera 3.1.1 install. Really.
But oh my God it was slow! I recompiled KDE and that took 20 hours
on a 1 Ghz AMD machine. Open office took about 12 hours.

Is the open office compile using an ebuild or is it in tar.gz format I have wanted to compile it for a while but keep getting trouble with it... (that was months ago though)

ditto re the taking time but 20 hrs for kde seems a long time is that including a slow download time aswell?
