Gentoo

[Brett I. Holcomb]

I've used the office ebuilds and as long as you pay attention and have a 
jre installed it's worked fine for me.  KDE is a huge thing - I heard it's 
about between 1 and 2 thirds of the kernel size so it takes a while to 
compile even on a fast machine.  When I did it under Caldera eDesktop on a 
933 it took forever - and that was KDE 2.x which is smaller.
