But I've found the openoffice-bin to be a more than good optimized for me. I think there should be some gnome-2.4 packages, but don't know where.

Then took about 24 hour to compile kde, gnome and openoffice. But then this is a very fast machine, It's strange, but it felt faster than my old 1.33 Ghz athlon. But I do not think you'll need more than 2-3 days to get a working system. Hope this helps. And welcome to Gentoo, the best distro ever. (Or at least if you're not dependent upon some binary drivers, my friend can't use his printer because it is a shitty one (Lexmark even worse than Canon) and you have to use redhat 7.2 or suse 8.2 to use the binary drivers.) -- Sigurd Stordal master in Petrology/mineralogy President of GOGS Opuscreator VS in DNM95 -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
