Ouch!!! How much ram do you have on that machine? The Gentoo install |

handbook has a dire warning at... |

...that you need approx 2 gigabytes free ram for each increment in |
| 13 |
"MAKEOPTS". |

If you have a fancy-schmancy "desktop environment" allow another 3 or |
| 23 |
4 Gigs, especially if you're simultaneously running Chrome or |
| 24 |
calculating large spreadsheets or processing large documents. For |
| 25 |
"MAKEOPTS=-j17" you'll need at least 36-to-40 gigabytes. |

I've seen things, you people wouldn't believe; Gopher, Netscape with |
| 29 |
frames, the first Browser Wars. Searching for pages with AltaVista, |
| 30 |
pop-up windows self-replicating, trying to uninstall RealPlayer. All |
| 31 |
those moments, will be lost in time like tears in rain... time to die. |
