I´m trying to update a production server here. If I overwrite the whole |
| 23 |
system, who knows what might break. I can take it down for a few |
| 24 |
hours in the evening unless I want to work over night, which is not |
| 25 |
really an option. |

There must be a way to update a Gentoo installation without breaking it. |
| 28 |
As wonderful as it otherwise is, updating Gentoo is always a nightmare which |
| 29 |
makes me very seriously consider not to use it anymore. Updating needs to |
| 30 |
be easy and flawless and not something you always run into weird issues |
| 31 |
with. |

Did they recently make a new liveDVD? |
