It is easier to fix Unix than to live with NT.

I have $PORTAGE_TMPDIR on the SD card, which is cheap enough to replace
if too many OOo compiles toast it.

I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly some compiles completed. Not as
fast as my desktop of course, but faster than was expecting,

This suggests using the fetchonly switch, write the files to USB key

Funny thing is, our old phone lines were about that far too. Most of
the time I got about 3KB/s of throughput. I hope yours is better than that.
That's about the top speed here.

I used to do this. Trust me, it's more trouble than it's worth. A 4G memory

You are a brave, brave man.

The best solution i've found so far (where RAM wasn't an issue) was to use

netbook may not have that much memory free.
Sorry if this was completely useless.
