As we all know Red Hat removed multimedia support from version 8 and 9. Does Gentoo comes bundled with multimedia programs like XMMS, xine etc.? If so, can please roughky list what are they?
And if I try to download Gentoo linux, is this all I should download a Pentium II:
Gentoo Linux - Gentoo i686 Install 135MB http://www.linuxiso.org/distro.php?distro=45
Or is there anymore which is recommended, that I should download?
Thank you. 
In terms of what Gentoo has to offer take a look here -http://www.gentoo.org/dyn/pkgs/index.xml As I said in the other thread, Gentoo can be whatever you want it to be - you just have to configure it correctly.
If you want a quick install, rather than the from source install, I suggest you get the latest two CD version. That version includes all the basic things that you need like X, KDE/Gnome, etc.
Anywho, enjoy your Gentooing.
