Subject: Binary release of gentoo
Date: Thu, 10 Apr 2003 00:13:30 +0000
	Is there any interest to start a binary release of gentoo with precompiled 
binaries. Im talking the entire source tree i know many people that would 
switch to gentoo if they would not have to compile every thing from source .  
not everyone has the fastest computer out there.

	I would be internested in helping work on a binary port of gentoo. I know 
there would be some issues with having a binary port
	1. use settings  ( maybe have 2 versions of apps one clean andone loaded ie 
kde and gnome support)
	2. cflags  (maybe support multible processors i586 i686 pentuim3 pentuim4 
etc)
	I believe there will be others . i have alot of computers and Im willing to 
help out sence and I have lots of free time
	 I know this is possible though I have built packages on one machine and 
installed them on other slower machines.
	
	Note > im not talking about a grp like install thats on a cd , but as a new 
edition to the portage ebuild system as a whole  IE: setting in make.conf 
makes emerge get binarys .
