If that were the reason, there would be binary packages of KDE, which |
| 8 |
takes longer to build than OOo, GNOME and XOrg. There are binary packages |
| 9 |
of OOo, Firefox ad Thunderbird because upstream provide them. They are |
| 10 |
not built with Gentoo in mind so may not even be ideally suited to even a |
| 11 |
bog-standard "from stage 3" system. |
