The one time I tried to set up a Gentoo-based system (more precisely, Funtoo), I started by installing some smaller packages that I knew I would need, and then a package that I tried to install later required that I reinstall an earlier package with different USE flags. I don't enjoy building packages quite that much. USE flags make Gentoo's package system so complex that you need CML2 (<http://catb.org/~esr/cml2/>) to build a system with it. Unfortunately, emerge doesn't seem to come with CML2. Robert Ransom
