Sure, of course I'm not staring at the gcc lines scrolling by, but it |
12 |
gets in the way of compiling other things and causes unnecessary (in |
13 |
my case) CPU and power load for a program I use only rarely. |
14 |
Especially on slower machines, like my laptop which takes something |
15 |
like 4 hours to compile openoffice. In that case I think gentoo in |
16 |
general may not be the right choice (since, again, I spend more time |
17 |
emerging than I do actually using the laptop), but I don't like any |
18 |
other distro so whatever. :) |

Google Docs has replaced most of what little I ever use OOo for |
21 |
(opening random "office" files people send me), so the -bin package |
22 |
may be dismissed from my machines in the near future too. ;) |
