Ok, so it seems to me that I will just stay with sys-apps/preload and
avoid my own "brute force approach" ;-)

I don't have any particular issues, the box is rather fast and smooth so
far ... and remember my non-ricer-approach ;-)

As I see I am not even able to use much RAM with several (vmware-)VMs
running, so the 8 gigs will maybe stay some number to impress *some*
people with (until everyone gets 8 gigs into their supermarket-PCs).

Anyway.
