Over at Linux Planet, Kurt
Wall complains that he had an insanely difficult time installing Gnome
2.6. Want some simple instructions? If you run Gentoo, it couldn't be simpler—just
run emerge -v gnome. Then emerge the applications that
you want. Installing Gnome was by far the easiest thing I did when
installing Gentoo, and that included compiling every bit of it from
source. (It will take several hours, so go get yourself something to
numb your brain while you wait.)
