[linux] The great OS debate

[Jonathan Nicol]

Gentoo also has pre-compiled binaries for larger packages such as 
OpenOffice, Mozilla, etc. If "emerge openoffice" is taking too long, try 
"emerge openoffice-bin". I've never even tried compiling OO on my P3 866.

Also, I hate spacial Nautilus (personal preference I guess), but it's 
easy enough to turn off.
