The GRP packages were certainly useful for that. I installed Gentoo on an |
| 9 |
iBook, including a full KDE desktop, in a little over an hour. |

But that was several years ago,when GRP CDs were available. Of course, it |

wasn't optimised to my needs, but changing the USE flags and an emerge |
| 12 |
-e world (while the computer was in use) fixed that. Compiling that lot |
| 13 |
on a 1GHz G4 took over a day, about 2 days when you included OOo. |
