Using emerge-webrsync also makes the installation process more robust, since it only requires HTTP access (whereas many firewalls restrict RSYNC). Besides, emerge-webrsync can check PGP signatures, so I think that it should be the primary recommended portage tree synchronization method. -- Maxim Kammerer Liberté Linux: http://dee.su/liberte
