9 Hi!

11 Yes you can do multiple emerge's at the same time. It's not a good idea
12 if both emerges requires you to emerge the same dependency but otherwise
13 there shouldn't be no problems.

15 Since we don't use a database-file (we store the installed packages
16 directly on the filesystem) there are no locking involved. When doing
17 much job (like this weekend :) I usually emerge three-four packages at
18 the same time.
