Well, this means that one has to manually handle things as well as in the way I deal with packages, right? ;-) >> No, no!

I use it as a router and prefer not to even remember of its existence. :) Let's say once a week I update it, but it has only the base system plus iptables qmail and squid installed. My desktop is an Athlnon XP 1700+ (working at 1.9GHz), 512MB RAM. Compared to it, the router checks for updates about 2 times faster. I can't be precise, but if you insist I could do a "time emerge -pvuDN world" on both of them and send the results. The router world file has 90 lines, the desktop world file has 751 lines. ;-) -- Best regards, Daniel -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
