Gentoo is a source-based distribution. This means that the software you receive comes in the form of source code. It's up to you to install (which includes compiling) the software with your specific preferences--this is what makes Gentoo what it is.If you like, you can add an emerge option

Well,I learn something new every day. I recalled reading in one of the Gentoo install docs that there was no way to download binary cuts of apps. Since there are /some/, KDE would probably be a good candidate for this... I agree. (I spent around two days anxiously waiting for KDE to compile.)
