Openoffice has to be compiled by your self and though it is the the more
gentooious way. For me it rans faster, but takes a long time to compile.
Openoffice-bin, if you don't want or can wait for the compilation.
2 - how long does it take to compile openoffice-bin on a PC with 2 GB

Try emerge -p openoffice|genlop -pq
to query the http://gentoo.linuxhowtos.org/compiletimeestimator/

openoffice-bin is a binary tarball thus we don't have to build from
source. but it dosn't have so many USE flag as `openoffice` so I think
it's less flexible, most important, it's only for 32bit (on x86), so if
you need an amd64 version of OO, you'd better to build your own.

I think should be around 4 hrs, if it's a dual-core processor, that
should be faster.

The latter is pre-compiled, eventually using USE flags that don't match your
settings, so you may not get what you want.

Don't know. More important would be to answer: "How much disk space does it
need?" You should have ~6G available in your $PORTAGE_TMPDIR.

On my 2003 machine (AMD 2500+) 5 hours ;
on my 2007 machine (Intel Core-2 Duo 6700) 2 hours .

Hi!
On my 2.5 AMD Athlon machine with 1,5 GRAM the compiling is 6-8 hours
long time. I think on yours is 4-5 hours or faster.

Yes : on my 2007 machine the latest 2.4.0 needed 2,7 GB disk space,
but earlier versions on my 2003 machine could take <= 6 GB .

maybe oo has nicer looking fonts. It starts a little bit faster, but after
that no difference in speed.

extremly long. So long that you have to start ooo several times a day for a
year so that the saved startup time equalizes the time spent compiling it.
If you are even able to. Openoffice is a bitch to compile. Even the slightest
change might break the compilation. It really, really sucks. IMHO openoffice
is a nice example for everything that is wrong.
Go with openoffice-bin.

The times aren't comparable. I can sleep while OOo is compiling, it only
files like I have time to sleep when I click on an attachment in an email
and wait for it to load.

I have to disagree. On my laptop Dell Inspiron 6400, Dual Core Pentium
(T2130) 1.8 GHz,
2 GB RAM, 160 GB HD. The compile time is absolutely OK. Important is
that the feature
"ccache" in make.conf is enabled and MAKEOPTS has a reasonable value, I
have set it
to "-j2". I follow the rule MAKEOPTS=<number CPUS>. But in the case of
openoffice, the
ebuild overwrite this value with "-j1". For the version 2.3.x I had set
the variable
WANT_MP but with version 2.4 it breaks the build. But how you can see
in the following,
that's only a minor problem.
