8 Hmm .. this sounds like more work than gain. The two (or more) instances
9 of portage would have to communicate to work out who is doing what.

11 Just don't start two instances of portage that will install the same
12 packages. This is still a big gain from RH and Debian (for example),
13 since they don't let you install several independent packages
14 simultaniously.
