Then what is the purpose of: |
| 10 |
"emerge --update world" w/o "--deep"? |

Well, this means that one has to manually handle things as well as in |
| 21 |
the way I deal with packages, right? ;-) |

Well, I have a Pentium 2 @ 400MHz with 128MB RAM. I use it as a router |
| 31 |
and prefer not to even remember of its existence. :) |
| 32 |
Let's say once a week I update it, but it has only the base system plus |
| 33 |
iptables qmail and squid installed. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
My desktop is an Athlnon XP 1700+ (working at 1.9GHz), 512MB RAM. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Compared to it, the router checks for updates about 2 times faster. |
| 38 |
I can't be precise, but if you insist I could do a "time emerge -pvuDN |
| 39 |
world" on both of them and send the results. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
The router world file has 90 lines, the desktop world file has 751 |
| 42 |
lines. ;-) |
