I agree with that. Emerge and Portage is a way better system than apt and
.deb because it uses source in a simple, uncomplicated and efficient way.

I don't like it either. I have it on my Sun Ultra 5 because its the only
version of Linux that works and runs well on it.

I think they are clubbed together just because they take the non "Redhat"
RPM route.

However it has to be said it is theorectically possible to use Portage on
any Linux system. 

Can't comment on the security thing as I know nothing about it!
