Haha, just got frustrated with how much junk is on my machine and globally disabled perl, python, ruby, and a bunch of other stuff. Bad times ensued ;). But really, as long as you're fine with looking at failed builds to see what went wrong, you should be fine. You can set PORT_LOGDIR in make.conf to send all build logs into a location (mine is /var/log/portage) so that all logs get saved automatically, which I find helpful. Alec
