Hello, |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
This subject was already discussed several times on both gentoo-dev and |
| 12 |
gentoo-users. A lot of ideas were proposed and discussed. Just search the |
| 13 |
archives for "Stable gentoo", "gentoo server" and so on... |
| 14 |
As far as I remember (and this is what I would advice too) the most important |
| 15 |
thing using a gentoo server is to *never* emerge --update --world... This (very |
| 16 |
powerful, indeed) tool is simply not made for a server environement. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Anyway, why would you want to update world? If you have a server without any |
| 19 |
security holes (ok, without any evident security holes ;+) you don't need to |
| 20 |
update... If you take a look, there is still a pretty good quantity of Redhat6.2 |
| 21 |
servers on the internet - they work and no one is really ready to upgrade them... |
| 22 |

Just my 0.02 euro... |
