What helped me alot to start out with portage/emerge is a line like: `EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--ask --ask-enter-invalid --keep-going --verbose --tree --jobs 10 --quiet-build --buildpkg --usepkg` You shouldn't be copying this line blindly into your `/etc/portage/make.conf` but see if you like to have some of these options always enabled when you call emerge and add them to your config. ;) Especially quiet-build lets you keep track of what portage is actually doing right now.
