Hi Harry, I have an up-to-date Gentoo 64-bit/KDE Virtualbox VM but I haven't tested it on a Windows host. I suppose could try that given some time. I'd have no problem donating a copy if people wanted it and there was some public place that we could put it. I don't want to run a server here to do that though. It looks like it would be around 5GB if I cleaned out /usr/portage/distfiles. - Mark
