now I want to install xorg-server, I will find this in binary or sources?

Hello,

Gentoo has no binary until recently, now you can follow this page to get binary packages from the public repository if they are available.

You can ask portage to always try to get binary by editing /etc/portage/make.conf, or at every single command you use by using, for example by using -g option (--getbinpkg).

More details can also be found in the man of portage, and on the wiki page for Portage as well.

Also note, while emerging anything, if at the beginning of the line of a package you see [ebuild], you'll compile it. If you see [binary], you'll download an already compiled binary.

Feel free to ask if you need more :).

Regards,
GASPARD DE RENEFORT Kévin
