5 No, the suggested commands aren't all even doing the same thing.
6 Especially emerge -e world is an outlier. On a box with a "lazy" or a
7 "first time install, learning Gentoo" admin it's likely to give a very
8 different result from most of the others.

10 As the OP hasn't given a reason or motivation why he needs the package
11 list, what it is for, we can only make assumptions and throw out wild
12 guesses.

14 After all, he might even be after emerge -pv --depclean, as it, too,
15 sort of prints out pretty much all packages on the system. Not to
16 mention a few thousand lines of dependency information. :)
