True, right now I have only changed the ls command as far as the alias
thing goes.  I'll find some more tho I'm sure.

I have the same old make.conf I had from my original install about 5
years ago.  I used to have a make.conf.example but it seems to have been
moved to /usr/share/portage/config which is odd.  I put a link to /etc
so I don't feel so lost.  Anyway, I wonder what affect that would have
on say a emerge -C <package-name>?  Would there be any other gotchas
when adding that would not be a good idea?  Would portage just ignore it
during certain commands?  As far as updates, I would like it to add that
but not sure what other affects that may have. 

Your thoughts?
