Gentoo no Refuge
I just installed a Gentoo system, and upon the 35th build of 350+ to make kde4, the emerge croaked. Glancing at the USE options it's borderline nuts. There must be two hundred little knobs to tweak. You could literally be configuring Gentoo until the end of the universe with the combinatorial possibilities. Then to make my fully encrypted disk I must make a little virtual file system with static builds of a mini-Gentoo system. What a nightmare. x(
That occurred to me, but not having read it in UPDATING I tried the incremental approach. I guess now it's semi-official. In fact today I noticed PCBSD has a /portsJail directory ostensibly for that very reason.

Or Linux world enjoy with beta or what ever version of K3b for KDE4 but not FreeBSD users. I know the answer: use console. But the question is WHY?
Thanks.
