[ale] Fresh Gentoo, and I'm lost

[Nathan J. Underwood]

Ok, getting closer.  The install seems to have gone ok (and had my fingers
worked as expected, would have been completed sooner than it actually was), and
I've got myself a nice little Gentoo system (did you guys know that Gentoo seems
to run considerably faster than some other distros?).  Now I'm trying to install
X (and more importantly Gnome or KDE), and I'm having a little trouble getting
my mind around emerge.  In my /usr/portage directory, I have several entries for
x-11 'stuff' (including x11-base, x11-libs, x11-misc, etc), and I also have
kde-base.  Now, I may already have KDE installed (this is a laptop, and will
just be a little desktop box for me to tinker with), but I can't find it.  Can
anyone point me in the right direction of where to go from here?  This is a
fresh, stage2 install.
