You may want to consider a swap file: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-add-a-swap-file-howto/ NB: I don't know how well it's going to help with Gentoo.

There is tinderbox for Gentoo, if that would help any at all: http://tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org/ -- Happy Penguin Computers >') 126 Fenco Drive ( \ Tupelo, MS 38801 ^^ support@happypenguincomputers.com 662-269-2706 662-205-6424 http://happypenguincomputers.com/ Don't top-post: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_post#Top-posting
