It's not necessary to figure out what dependancies are required. |

Portage will do it for you. You do not need to waste time figuring out |
17 |
how to build X or parts of GNOME or KDE separately. Of course, if you |
18 |
want the GNOME or KDE desktop, then you'll have to install it |
19 |
explicitly. I run with Blackbox. Only the necessary parts of GNOME and |
20 |
KDE are pulled in and built. |
