It's partially because I the system it remote and I do not always have access to it, and partially because I nearly forgot about this :) Sorry for that.

But it still didn't work out. But the PC is a rather old one, and so I decided to go away from Gentoo. Using distcc helped, but only when I and my fast (well not really, but much faster than that old Sempron) PC were there. I decided to try Sabayon Linux, which is based on Gentoo, but binary. There is no KDE3, though, so I had to install KDE4. Which is somewhat slow, maybe Xfce4 or LXDE will be better. BTW, I'm not too happy with Sabayon either. The equo package manager is not as sophisticated as emerge, for example it looks like it is not possible to call it when another instance is already running. And I do not yet understand how I can mix equo with portage. But I dod not dig into this too much, the person using this PC mainly uses KMail, Firefox and aMSN, and this is working fine. Anyway, thanks both of you for your assistance. Wonk
