I am installing KDE, but seems that is forever the installation.. after I copy the sources on the portage directory I typed emerge kde and so far have been 24 hours of compilation and still running, can anyone help me please by telling me if this among of compilation time is normal?? How I can configure my system to boot into a graphic mode?? Is kde the best choice??? How I can run kde after I compile it

It can be normal, depending on the speed of your processor (which would be useful to know when speaking about compile times). After all, "emerge kde" isn't a good choice IMO. Emerging kdebase would be speedier - only qt, arts, kdelibs and kdebase would be compiled. But these would take a lot of time as well. Then you could emerge the remaining packages one by one - only those you really need (I for one never compile -edu and -games).
A few hints for speeding up compiling KDE: search the forums for DO_NOT_COMPILE, myconf=--enable-final and unsermake.

after specifying DISPLAYMANAGER=KDM in /etc/rc.conf (I suppose you want to use KDM with KDE).

There is no such thing as best choice 
However, if you would like something lighter than KDE, I would recommend xfce4. |
