I was in the same boat. I've recompiled world several times and have done it while using the system each time. That is, I've kept all my servers going (bind, postfix, etc) and have been using kde (konqueror, kmail, etc) without ever having a problem - even on the upgrade from qt31 to qt32. Just "emerge -e world" will do it. I suggest you find a way to track what you've rebuilt and what you haven't before your start, though, just in case. I usually use "emerge -ep world" and put the list of packages (without the version numbers) generated in a file called pkgs. I then use the following when rebuilding: for i in `cat pkgs`; do emerge --one-shot $i (grep -v $i pkgs pkgs2; mv pkgs2 pkgs) done That way you will have a list of any packages that fail to compile for some reason and a way to restart if it needs to be stopped for any reason.
