/usr/portage/distfiles contains the sources of everything that you have |
| 7 |
installed. If you delete it, it will be downloaded again the next time it is |
| 8 |
needed. |

If you have buildpkg in your FEATURES (if you don't know what that is you |
| 11 |
don't), then everything that you have emerged will be stored in binary form |
| 12 |
in /usr/portage/packages. |

eclean (which belongs to app-portage/gentoolkit) can be used to prune those |
| 15 |
two folders. Everything else in /usr/portage can be restored by emerge --sync |
| 16 |
if one ever deletes it. It is needed to emerge anything. |
