I don't think it actually matters.
3. Is there any method to streamline/automate these tasks so that the machines compile the new software overnight, unattended?
Well, I would use a system that has a lot of disk space, and make a chroot build environment for those laptops. With FEATURES=buildpkg, you can then use a system you have full access to to build binary packages for the upgrade, and then when you have access, you can update quickly with --usepkgonly. The AMD 32-bit chroot guide [1] is useful here, even for non x86_64 systems: -Richard [1] http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/amd64/howtos/index.xml?part=1&chap=2 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
