I'm eager to start playing with gcc-3.1 and Gnome2. I'm not afraid of 
screwing up things because I believe that's necessary in order to progress 
(that's one of the things that made try and love Gentoo). Unfortunately 
I've a deadline for a paper submission which is closing in the next few 
days, so I've been restraining myself from messing so deeply with my 
system as I can't afford have it down until then.

But when I do, what's the best way to upgrade my gcc-2.95.3+gnome-1.4 
system to gcc-3.1+gnome-2.0 ? I know that gnome-2.0 works well 
side-by-side with a gnome 1.4 system, but regarding gcc-3.1 I've seen here 
that it's better to start from scratch. Is it so?

I really didn't want to mess up with partitions again, so is there a way 
to reinstall gentoo (or simply recompile all packages with new settings) 
in order to achieve the same effect?

Thanks,

José Fonseca
