Cool!


One of my first compilations of OOo was on old Intel Celeron 400 for
my parents and it took 44hours, and whole system (w/ X, FF, Tb, OOo)
from stage1 exactly 5days (nearly 5x24 hours ;)
Sweet old times :D
It's loosing it's magic, when u can make it in 3 hours now ;-)
On my laptop (Dell Inspiron 6000) with pentium-m@(protected)
takes me around 13hours though... I guess that encrypted root (with
/var/tmp) and swap does take it's price ;-)

But even though I need to compile it overnight, it's still worth it.
It's just the Right Gentoo Way (tm) :-D
