i dont have DSL at home and use my laptop as an rsync server for my
desktop. Both machines have different USE flags. 

i rsync the distfiles directories also.

so i fetch files using emerge -f programx 

rsync to desktop 

emerge programx on desktop

this obviously does not work very good :)
especially because i want to emerge gnome and have USE="-gnome" on the
laptop....

this situation could be solved by USE profiles.
USE="gnome" emerge -f programx
should solve the problem also.

but i often forget that.

the use profile could be associated with the emerge action.

are the use flags now saved in the database ?
