Of course, if you'll launch installed app it'll create some config, temp files, etc, but that'll only affect the paths to which it has access, and that's probably only your ~ and /tmp. And as soon as portage will start to "clean up" your home from app-created files like, say, some documents you've spent weeks working on, it'll certainly make it to the top-10 evil linux viruses out there. -- Mike Kazantsev // fraggod.net
