That isn't a solution though. |

"Gentoo, the distributed home computer operating system. " |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
"Gentoo, takes 2379MIPS to sync within a week." |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
etc... |

|
| 31 |
I mean if it's slow now what happens in [say] 2008 when portage has 160k files |
| 32 |
or something... I don't know exactly how portage works but from when I |
| 33 |
started using gentoo [~60k files in portage] to now [~80k files in portage] |
| 34 |
it's definitely not just a linear amount slower. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
While I'm at it what of security? I mean how do I know the files on the |
| 37 |
mirror I get them from are from the CVS? |
