Well, there is a downside to Gentoo.  I was playing around with my
spare box and having a bugger of a time trying to get Moz 1.7.2 to
compile.  GNOME needed it.  After trying six ways from Friday to get
it built, I decided that I really don't need gnome anyway, 'cuz KDE
compiled fine, and I just used the -bin versions of Firefox and
Thunderbird.  Everything else is fine.  But it still annoys me.

Tell your friends who wait days and days to look into distcc.
