Simple emquiry....

So, I'm emerging xorg-server on my newly compiled (still bare bone) Gentoo system and it's taking fucking ages.

What the fuck is happening?

Is it compiling from source or something?

I know. My Linux "field work" is just part of the whole plan. I can't just limit myself to UNIX. Isn't Linux the dominant Unix derived server OS or am I wrong?

Tbh I never got my hands into BSD although it's on my list.

If you really want to know, I'm trying to achieve Unix Admin status in a few years time. What route would you suggest I go from here?
