1) I notice some occasional mention of people continuing to use their
systems while emerge is running.  Intuitively, this seems like driving
your car while mechanics are working on it.  I shut down every X session
and every text console except one root session running the actual
emerge.  Is this unnecessary?  Are there any booby-traps to watch for if
I want to use my system while "emerge --ask --deep --update --world" is
running?

  2) After a while I've found the messages (at the end of the emerge
session) about config files, useless and rather annoying.  I now execute

rm `find /etc -iname '._cfg????_*'`

whenever such a message shows up.  No problems... yet.  Is it a good
idea, or have I just been lucky?
