Hi Alon, indeed, you can manage a standalone desktop machine. Usually you start with a target-build (e.g. the desktop target) that bootstraps a new system. Once you have installed that system (via some kind of output image or directly via cp, mv, etc.) you can either use the Emerge-Pkg script to build packages directly into the running system or you can incrementally modify the original build and synchronize (via binary packages, rsync, etc) with the running system.
