And to think I still compile Open Office.  I even compiled it on a
400Mhz rig once.  Does anyone type in a command then take a nap?  I'm
disabled and do get some rest but I do wake up on occasion.  LOL

Gentoo is for those who want to compile from source.  Having the option
for binaries may be OK, but I doubt there is enough people going to use
it for all the effort.  Somebody has to still wait on it to finish
compiling.

To err is human, I'm most certainly human.

I have four rigs:

1:  Home built; Abit NF7 ver 2.0 w/ AMD 2500+ CPU, 1GB of ram and right now two 80GB hard drives.  
2:  Home built; Iwill KK266-R w/ AMD 1GHz CPU, 256MBs of ram and a 4GB drive.
3:  Home built; Gigabyte GA-71XE4 w/ 800MHz CPU, 128MBs of ram and a 2.5GB drive.
4:  Compaq Proliant 6000 Server w/ Quad 200MHz CPUs, 128MBs of ram and a 4.3GB SCSI drive.

All run Gentoo, all run folding. #1 is my desktop, 2, 3, and 4 are set up as servers.
