My Athlon XP 2600+ is currently compiling Gentoo to reside alongside the 
  existing Windows XP install.

Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe/nForce2/Marvell Yukon Gigabit Ethernet
GeForce FX 5700
SIL 3112a SATA RAID with 2x160Gb Maxtor HDD

I'm currently emerging apache php bind kde kdesdk evolution 
mozilla-firefox-bin mozilla-thunderbird-bin openoffice-bin koffice 
lilypond rosegarden - I guess I'll come back next week and see how it's
