I can understand that, but you have to recognize something that's a little

When I emerge I measure it in days.
Generally, I emerge right befo
I noticed in a document that you should set USE to include 'tcpd' to
improve/enhance your security options.
Is this still valid if you are using xinitd, which includes the functionality
of tcpd in it? Or is it unneccessary?

I am slowing making some progress and am looking at some of the security

I didn't put them in USE before and need to do some rebuilding.
How do you tell emerge to update everything and to rebuild everything
regardless of it's update status?

I didn't build my kernel with devfs support.
