How long would it take to compile packages such as GNOME, Firefox, OpenOffice.org... with an AMD Athlon 1.15 GHz and 512 MB RAM?

Firefox not that much, xulrunner however which is the rendering engine will tame many hours probably,
Openoffice surely will take more than one day on that hardware.
I have no idea about gnome, probably it could take more than one day as well, depending on the components you install, the USE flags you enable, etc.

About Openoffice, you can also use Openoffice-bin if you want too.

In fact, there is not much binary packages but OpenOffice-bin is the one that I use on all my box.

| I switched from Mandriva and i think there was lack of technical support with mandriva. Even i tried gentoo in VM and once i found myself comfortable i switched to it. |

When you want to test a new distro, it's always fun to test it inside a VM
