Well, with 8Gb RAM, i recommend use tmpfs on PORTAGE_TMPDIR, just while u are compiling anything. Or even with 6Gb too.
I don't worry to much about use the SSD, the only thing that i do is use distfiles, music/video/photos on HDD to safe space. And the TMPDIR thing when i'm compiling a lot of things. 2012/11/26 Jacques Montier <jmont...@gmail.com> > > > 2012/11/26 Daniel Troeder <dan...@admin-box.com> > >> On 25.11.2012 22:43, Jacques Montier wrote: >> > Each time you sync the portage, you should write on the SSD... >> > Is it a good thing ? >> It is the best thing since rsync!
