So far in this thread, I've managed about 0/4 of the words you've used... |

But yes, a build host and adding --usepkg=y to EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS in |
| 15 |
make.conf gives a massive speed increase. Run the build host in an easily |
| 16 |
recovered environment, like a VM, and you don't even have to monitor the |
| 17 |
world update on it, just run a script in the early hours that does emerge |
| 18 |
--sync && emerge -uXX @world and check your mailbox for errors before |
| 19 |
running emerge on the "clients". The use clusterssh or dsh to update them |
| 20 |
all at once. |

A. Two - one to change the bulb and one to write a book about the passive |

role of the socket. |
