The latest release from gentoo (gentoo 2004.0) has stage 3 tarballs for GNOME, KDE, mozilla, openoffice etc. All these pre-built packages are available for download from the gentoo mirrors. The Gentoo Reference Platform (GRP), which is a snapshot of prebuilt packages provides optimized binaries for x86, i686, pentium3, pentium4, athlon-xp, Gentoo Hardened profile, amd64, sparc64, ppc, G3 and G4. Take your pick! All the stage 3 installation asks you to compile is the kernel, and even that can be avoided by using the genkernel script which builds the generic kernel (though I would never suggest using it). The gentoo LiveCD ISO's provide all the binaries. Check releases/x86/2004.0/livecd/ in any gentoo mirror. BTW, if you own an athlon-xp system, you can have the gentoo 2004.0 ISO's from me. I have th following: install-x86-minimal-2004.0.iso (80 MB) install-x86-universal-2004.0.iso (688 MB) (works with any x86 based system) packages-athlon-xp-2004.0.iso (639 MB) (optimized binaries for athlon-xp) packages-athlon-xp includes: xfce4-4.0.1, mozilla-firefox-0.8, mozilla-1.6, kde-3.2, gnome-2.4.2, apache-2.0.48, mysql-4.0.16, qt-3.3, sylpheed-0.9.4, evolution-1.4.5 etc. Regards, Bhaskar. - -- ___ Bhaskar Dutta [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG .eq.

RE: [ilugd] Gentoo
To summarize the heart of Gentoo, imagine a user sitting in front of a Linux system. What does he or she want do to? The Gentoo philosophy is to allow this user to do what he or she wants to do, without getting in the way... Portage will keep your Gentoo Linux system as up-to-date as you desire. And because of this, experienced Gentoo users don't pay too much attention to new versions of Gentoo Linux -- after all, the latest and greatest version of Gentoo Linux is always available by typing an emerge sync command. There's no need to wait several months for a new version of Gentoo Linux to be released because Gentoo Linux is continually updated and refined and these improvements are immediately made available to you... #Support for x86, PowerPC, UltraSparc, Alpha and MIPS processors #LiveCD-based installation for x86, PowerPC, UltraSparc and Alpha #Latest stable KDE and GNOME #Various optimized Linux kernels #Very modern GNU development environment #Excellent filesystem support: ReiserFS, XFS, ext3, EVMS, LVM #Excellent hardware support: NVIDIA, Creative Labs Live! and Audigy #Modular OpenGL and compiler sub-system (supports multiple co-existing versions) #Clean, dependency-based system initialization scripts #New hardened Gentoo security initiative #6000+ packages of the latest and greatest software #Enhanced Portage capabilities Great Yaar! Awesome for both -- newbie and Gurus.
