? --newuse is only needed, if you change global USE flags. There shouldn't be many flags you set globally, ie. in /etc/make.conf. Instead, set the USE flags in /etc/portage/package.use. > Can someone point me to more information on USE flags, I don't think your question can be answered "globally". What a USE flag does, is highly dependent upon the package which employs this flag. And generally, the name of the flag should be quite self explanatory - or at least the description should show, what it does (I use "euse -i $flag" to get the description). But if you need in detail information, you'll have to check out the ebuild and see what it does.
