My experience is similar, though I'd say my laptop and desktop are |
18 |
just about as fast (1.6PM+512ram vs 2.0P4+512ram). My last |
19 |
'emerge -e world' on the laptop took just under 2 days: I don't |
20 |
have any large packages like KDE or Gnome or OO, but that's also with |
21 |
a lot of crap that I installed which is not necessary for a base |
22 |
system. |

If you leave you laptop in a well ventilated area, overheating |
25 |
shouldn't be an issue. |

As a side question, there used to be an option with 'genlop' which you |
28 |
can pipe to it the output from 'emerge --pretend' and show the |
29 |
expected total merge time. Is there a way of doing this with 'qlop'? |
