ror of all releases would be too much data. So, I only fetch portage tree and packages from a list I maintain manually (emerge sucks at that game, by the way). Data is stored on a nilfs filesystem to improve snapshots size on disk. -- Nicolas Sebrecht

(or tiny, at least) systems, I would not use LXC. The drawback with Gentoo is that the current official uclibc stage3 for embedded/tiny systems is obsolete and marked as experimental. In facts, it's very _hard_ if not impossible to use it these days. Making your own cross-compilation environment is not a piece of cake (too), even with dedicated tools such as crossdev. This topic would ask its own book. So, if you want to try Gentoo embedded save your time by working on unofficial stage3. -- Nicolas Sebrecht
