You compiled it? Why? Why not compile on a different architecture thats faster or use distcc to make a compile farm? Last times I used Gentoo I just used the packages, took no longer to install than an rpm based distribution.

Well this was 10 years ago. I was 17 or so and I didn't know about distcc. I was young, dewy-eyed, and a huge noob.
Back when I was touring colleges, building Gentoo from Stage 1 seemed to be all the rage. I tried on a PIII also. Then the power went out after a day and I never tried it again after. While maybe it would have been a good experience, ultimately I don't think I missed out on all that much.
