i was reading up on the wiki and came across the 'Ultimate Gentoo Box' i
want to give it a shot i just had a couple questions.

1. i think i want to give ~x86 a try, i find myself adding more and more
keywords to my package.keywords file anyway.  how to i go about getting
everything ~x86? and if so, is it "known" to break things all the time?
or are people running pure ~x86 with no problems? also how to i tell the
system to replace all the packages with ~x86 ones? and finally what
happens to the things that are in my package.keywords file now?

2. the CFLAGS on their looked really interesting and i think i want to
recompile my entire system with those flags, how do i go about doing
that? will an 'emerge -euD world' work? or is there something else i
have to do to get it to recompile everything?  

3. could someone please explain to me in plain english ( i have read
about them online ) what the main difference is between -O3 and -O2? i
know -O3 is more optimized, but which is better to make the system
perform better? the wiki site im refering to states he uses -O2, i am
currently using -O3 when i did my stage one install.  what is going to
make my system perform better? 

im running a p4 2.4Ghz laptop with 1gig ram ati mobility video, and if
this works i have several other systems i want to do the same thing
with. (except the server) 

thanks for any and all input.

Nick
