16 Yes, you can start as many sesions of emerge as you
17 like, even for the same package, portage uses locks to
18 make sure they do not conflict with each other.
19 A very useful application for this is to do something
20 like this: in one console start `emerge -f kde` and in
21 another `emerge kde`. The first will just download the
22 files needed and the second will compile them.
