isn't gentoo too slow to maintain? i mean you have to compile
everything..... how long takes to compile gnome2 ( or kde ) + kernel +
whatever + XServer + everything like that every time?

i understand that this is the tradeoff for better speed, but isn't it
too time-consuming?

thanks,

That's life for you, said McDunn.  Someone always waiting for someone 
who never comes home.  Always someone loving something more than that 
thing loves them.  And after awhile you want to destroy whatever 
that thing is, so it can't hurt you no more.
