1hr+ for a general update* (following the guide. Pre-kernel)

On a more serious note, gentoo is fun… On competent hardware. This is a 4 core Celeron N2940 with 4gb of RAM.

*emerge --ask --verbose --update --deep --changed-use @world is too long to type…

    lol. i used Gentoo for 5 years or so. it’s the only distribution I don’t recommend.

    it assumes you have hours of CPU time to waste, and hours of your time to dispatch-config afterwords.

    do Debian or arch.

      Y’know they had official binhost by then.

      Don’t need to compile. With binhost configured, can use -g on emerge commands to use the binary packages.

        iirc using precompiled binaries means u don’t get USE flags, which was one of the big attractions of Gentoo. and u still have to dispatch-config …
