So once a month is good, up to once a week, perhaps, but in any event, |
| 14 |
it's probably of little value to do it more often than one syncs, and if |
| 15 |
one syncs daily, or even the couple times a week I try to do, that's |
| 16 |
probably more often than the server is likely prepared to accept, just as |
| 17 |
users are urged not to sync more often than once a day, with Gentoo. |
