You could probably clear out /usr/portage/distfiles.

Hi Mark,
Is there a command that tells Linux to really memory that is really
not in use? I'm sure top is not the best app for looking at this so
yes there is: i.e. "free -m". the line starting with "-/+" tells you
what's used by apps without filesystem cache and buffers and what's free.
the "-m"

Hi,

I know this depends a lot on where you are in
Coz if its a normal nfs share, two computers may decide to download the
file at the same time. There was talk about how to handle this in the
past.
Personally, I would still do it as it would be:
1. would be an occaisional occurrence only
2. the machines would error off if the file corrupts

Oh, missed another reason. Everytime I install a system, I just copy
over the distfiles and go from there: this batch started with gentoo
1.0, prob not many of the originals left, but its certainly saved a heap
in download costs.

So, you've got too much harddisk space, do you?
Kindly, send your excess harddisk space to me by e-mail, preferrably
gzipped. :-)
Adding to your list of reasons are:
gcc/glibc upgrades have in the past required a full system recompile
from scratch: this happened for gcc 2.95 to 3.0, 3.1 (and 3.2?) and
looks like it will soon be neccessary with 3.3 if you want to get the
advertised gains.
