Don't you mean alot of time compiling? I have tried Gentoo and the compiling of *everything* takes forever. I have yet to find a pre-compiled install that at least gets me going with the basic xwindows, gnome and/or KDE. I don't mind compiling some things, but even on my P4-3GhzHT, it would have taken several DAYS to compile KDE and its tools -- Have I missed something or do they have pre-compiled packages hiding somewhere??

It took me not longer than one night to compile the whole gentoo system from stage 2, including X-Server and KDE. I was doing that also on a 3GHz AMD, 1024MB RAM.
