I've considered that myself, but I don't have the patience to wait while my computer compiles everything, especially because I don't know if I'll need to take note of some particular message halfway through that I might miss which would cause me to wreck everything.

Heh strangely that is why many people steer away from Gentoo. Then again I just emerge a set of packages before I go to sleep and come back in the morning

I've done similar things to that for long processes only to come back in 8 hours to find that something got stuck after 45 minutes and it's been sitting there stuck since then.

Ahh that usually only happens in my experiences with testing/unstable packages. Generally the only time I am emerging something that takes several hours, it is a stable package that is part of my base system. X11/Qt/GTK/etc. all in one. I then start on unstable etc. but usually if those take more than 15 minutes something is very wrong Course that was all on single core, now that I think everything in my house is at least dual-core or better it will likely only improve.

The real catch, is how difficult it would be to maintain, and is something I am still looking into. IF, and it is a big IF, however Ubuntu server does a good job I will be looking to run that for my server instead of OS X. Would save me on hardware costs as well as software costs(OS X server aint cheap)
