Just so you guys know, I settled on Xubuntu for this, since it has all the bare minimums I need and it supports my HW well. It's working like a Dream, has a footprint of < 64MBs with all the unneeded junk not running :) Only had a footprint of 96MBs stock, and the vmware-player is in the repo set I'm using. So it ended up being the perfect choice. Thanx everyone!

Are you sure you're a Gentoo user? I stopped using Gentoo a few years ago because I had been using it for a bout a year, and I'm pretty sure if you don't start dissing every other distro and anybody who uses anything but Gentoo, they kick you out. JK, but your assessment sounds rational and fair. Maybe you're new to Gentoo ;-).
