46 My strategy for getting Gentoo on a netbook with an SSD is to use NFS
47 for PORTAGE_TMPDIR. Works nicely and makes less work than building
48 everything remote. The only problem is that the setuid bit seems to get
49 lost. That's not too much of an issue, though. There are only a handful
50 of setuid binaries on a system and you can compare the list of them with
51 a normal desktop machine.
