How can your roots be so big?
My tablet is loaded up with gnome2, including all the gnome-devel stuff,
all the main gnome applications (gimp, mozilla, evolution, etc.),
openoffice, latex, lots of audio/video software, and all the standard
devel stuff (gcc, perl, python, etc.), and the whole thing
(excluding /home) is only 1.4 GB. I thought gentoo was supposd to be
fast and light?
