I'm not an expert on these matters; perhaps a developer or guru will step in. Nevertheless, I believe with a little work you could setup to build packages with the USE flags you prefer for the laptop and maintain these separate from the desktop configuration. You might search on forums for more information. As a final note, if your laptop does not have adequate cooling and running the fans constantly does not produce the desired results, you may well have to consider the approach of building packages on the desktop machine. -- Collins -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
