I thought about that too. Everything works right now so I could go a |
| 42 |
little while without a update. However, we all know what happens if you |
| 43 |
go to long without updating Gentoo. A couple things pop up that bite |
| 44 |
you hard. With my luck, there would be a dozen or so. One that comes |
| 45 |
to mind is expat. It's not often but it can be fun when you have |
| 46 |
several at a time. |
