/usr/portage/distfiles contains the sources of everything that you have installed. If you delete it, it will be downloaded again the next time it is needed. If you have buildpkg in your FEATURES (if you don't know what that is you don't), then everything that you have emerged will be stored in binary form in /usr/portage/packages. eclean (which belongs to app-portage/gentoolkit) can be used to prune those two folders. Everything else in /usr/portage can be restored by emerge --sync if one ever deletes it. It is needed to emerge anything. HtH -- Bo Andresen
