Thank goodness for XFCE. I ditched Gnome at 3.0. Well, I was using XFCE
even before that but still had gnome installed for other users of my
system. Now, everyone uses XFCE. That's my own BOFH attitude right
now. :)

emerge --update : how to keep it going?

The --keep-going option, plus this in your make.conf:

PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="echo save"

Then emerge the elogv program.  Use that to view all the emerge logs at
the end.

uefi gpt grub2

FWIW I hate grub2.  ;)

I'm a big fan syslinux/extlinux.

But recent Linux kernels can be compiled as UEFI apps, thus don't need
a boot loader (e.g. grub2) at all (in theory).
