I compiled OO once (after waiting weeks for a trivial bug to get resolved), and I never noticed much difference from the binary versions. With the older versions, there was a difference in startup speed (about 25 seconds!) using the binaries, but on the current binaries the difference is negligible. I haven't studied the differences in the gentoo binary ebuilds and the binaries downloaded from OO, but I'm using the later (1.1.0). Startup speed is 8 seconds (3 seconds if previously loaded), which is good enough for me. I haven't encountered very many bugs with any of the versions, and the 1.1.0 binary is certainly stable for me (I only use word processing, spread sheet, and PDF document creation.) Until something is done about the reliability of compile from source ebuilds (it makes no difference to me whether the source of the problem is OO or GCC or whatever), I won't be launching any 15 hour 4+gig compiles just to get the same results as I get from a binary install. YMMV. -- Collins Richey - Denver Area if you fill your heart with regrets of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow, you have no today to be thankful for. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
