Isn't that... cheating?


And this is why Gentoo users are sometimes mocked. :)

When I used Gentoo, I only ever told it to compile things like openoffice and Mozilla once. I always emerged the -bin versions afterwards, after realizing how obscenely long it takes to compile these huge C++ projects.
