Huh. Dunno about that. I have a Core2 Duo with 2G RAM here and took
kdeenablefinal out of USE last night. Started emerge world at midnight,
wanted to remerge 240+ packages, at 7am this morning it was up to #200
or thereabouts.

So either these cpus aren't all they are cracked up to be or the
software is just HUGE. I'm going with the latter :-)

I also see that kde-4.0.2 just hit portage, complete with 345M of
sources to be downloaded. The other lads in the office here think I am
completely and utterly mentally defective to want to run Gentoo. I
think I'm starting to see why they might think that <evil_grin>
