Installing KDE on Gentoo

The shortage of posts recently has been because I’ve been attempting to install Gentoo on my laptop and been having a ball. While enjoying myself, however, I’m often too browser-lacking to do any posts.

Right now I’m doing an emerge (Gentoo-speak for ‘install’) of the entire KDE package on my Dell 600m laptop. I started it late last night and i’ll be done sometime this afternoon.

When it’s done I’m going to do as many packages as I can quickly. I’m following the advice of Clete who’s updating his whole system before KDE 3.4 comes out in three days. It’s a good idea to only have KDE to update when it comes out - because it takes 16 hours on my 1.6GHZ to install.
