A stage3 install has most of the benefits of a stage1 or stage2. Portage
gives you the ability to rebuild *every* single package if you choose.
And like the binary distributions, it's targeted towards the generic 386,
not the pentium class machines we're all using (at least it was the last
time I checked, but it might have changed since then).
So, like I said, it is just like using another binary distribution.
And if you use a stage 3 and rebuild every package, it's not that different
than starting from a stage 1 or 2, is it?
