what about people on dial-up? If they can have a stable binary of X
or Gnome/KDE and OpenOffice perhaps.. and still have source based for the underlying stuff? Rather than have to download and compile these
huge ones? Or is that where GRP is headed?
As long as there really is a performance/stablility/feature advantage for running Gentoo. Of course that means new binaries if there is a security issue.
Binary distributions are often accompanied by a nice glossy version of
the installation docs and sold at a nice price too.
