If you check the Portage Manual, you'll see prelink is not one of the 'features', so I doubt if it works by adding it to make.conf.

This is supposed to be a new feature.
I don't exactly know if it works. But a very reliable source from gentoo told me. can't remember who, and can't remember when, nor where (forum, mailing list etc etc).
But it won't hurt to just leave it there.
It hasn't been added to the docs yet.
Anyway, i usually do a full prelink once in a while anyway.

What about just modifying your cron job to prelink all soft ?
(Each week or so...)
Just an idea (works for me)

You need to break something, just ask me 
How's this for a project, then: take each package listed in the output of "emerge -e system" and create a CVS ebuild for each. Then, put "emerge -e system" in a script in /etc/cron.daily, and watch your system eat itself alive! Hurrah!
Note: one day I will do this. Just not today. Probably, actually, when I get my Athlon 64, then my Athlon XP will still have a reason to be switched on at all...

I was thinking about learnign hwo to maintain packages, and I read the creating an Ebuild How-to, but I found it didn't give very specific example, and I was still a bit confused
I wish the guide could be a bit more....step-by-stepy
Or am I just being lazy and need to just try it out?
Is it a good idea to make my own .ebuild for some random software I use, and then compare it with the Portage Ebuild? |

also use ccache and prelink on your make.conf.
portage will prelink each app after an emerge automaticly now  |
Are you sure this'll work?  |
Dunno if it works, but i put this at the end of my /etc/make.conf (at least it seems don't hurt)
can someone confirm it? |
Not sure, but I think that just adds it to the /etc/prelink.conf file so that mnext time you do it will prelink the newly-installed binaries as well.

The only bad thing about fluxbox is the fact that there are no icons on the desk, no eye-candy. Is why I switched to GNOME (don't flame me). Nice everything w/ perfect Aqua-like theme and Gentoo icons and what-not. kick-butt.

Yeh. thats the whole point
Fluxbox is a window manager. Gnome is a desktop environment.
Fluxbox only deals with windows and stuff like that.
But gnome is a full blown destop environment where, there's a window manager, desktop manager, webbrowser, file browser, and other nifty things all integrated into one environment
Same goes for KDE and other DE's
However, that doesn't you mean you can't use Gnome parts inside fluxbox.
For example, if you like the toolbar in gnome. you can start it in fluxbox by running "gnome-panel". You can run the desktop as well.
But if you goto fluxbox's homepage, i think there's a much better program that can give you nice desktop icons.
Hey, you can even use fluxbox inside gnome

Idesk put nice icons in your desktop and you can set icon transparency, dunno if gnome can do that. |

Try installing BIND and getting a working nameserver for your LAN, then write a clear, comprehensive HOWTO a-la Gentoo Handbook explaining how you did it .
