Hi mates,

I would love using Gentoo as Desktop and Server OS. I used sometime ago, but it caused me the fact of not being able to upgrade my systems weekly or daily, because sometimes you needed to upgrade the kernel and I was not really sure that the config entered for the kernel (loaded through Genkernel but with menuconfig and there load .config file) that was written with previous kernel version building was going to not cause something weird or bad functioning of newer built kernels with that config.

Does exist a way... where you could emerge world, update all the system, finally end up by upgrading the kernel and being sure that the old .config you used through menuconfig (or by any other way of importing) would not select erroneous parameters in newer kernels?. I though there were some... lint options for the .cofig?. I think I have used them sometime ago....

So for sumarizing, how do you manage for keep your systems up-to-date using Gentoo?. How do you manage to keep your kernel upgraded?.

Cheers,
