I have 3 Gentoo boxen and wondered the same thing.  I've taken the approach of sharing the tree over NFS.  This doesn't give me the cache updates so searches take forever on the remote boxes but I can do updates.

A little bit of time? 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.

Give VidaLinux a try--basically a stage 3 Gentoo install, with xorg, Gnome, etc. Rock-solid perofrmance, the distro is well-themed. The ~900MB size for the portage tree was a turnoff though...Zenwalk Linux will give you a full install with Xorg and XFCE4 desktop in the space of 900 MB. Anyone know if the portage tree can be removed and still have portage functional?

BTW, I am not a gentoo user, I just peeked at it a bit.
