[wplug] question for Gentoo users

	Just wondering - how long did it take you Gentoo users out there to
get to a system that (reasonably) had all the functionality you were looking
for.  For me, the honeymoon is somewhat over - I am happy to consider the
relative bloat of a, say, Red Hat install in exchange for the days of
emerging I'm doing currently.

	I will say that it's been an awesome learning experience, but
there's still some rough edges to the emerge process that can result in a
little bloat (like chromium requiring kdelibs (USE flag is _not_ set) -
wassup with that).  I just don't have days to compile..... I've been working
on this thing on and off here at work, and it's taken at least a week of
attention to get to the point where I have X, fluxbox, and a few games &
apps....
