Thank you very much for your replies. This is what I got out of it: |

1) Gentoo evolves. There are no major upgrades. This is a huge "go with |
| 6 |
gentoo" point. I've never seen an operating system that didn't have |
| 7 |
issues after a major upgrade. This means an updated system with gentoo, |
| 8 |
all the time. No 'reinstall from scratch' every two years. Oh yeah, I've |
| 9 |
got software that won't work after a major upgrade. |

2) Gentoo requires attention. These are production servers I'm talking |
| 12 |
about. What sysadmin doesn't check in their production servers on |
| 13 |
regular basis? Yeah, I check in the the debian servers all the time. |
| 14 |
That's on top of the automated emails I get reporting on the health of |
| 15 |
the system. Ok, I don't have to do anything to them. So, I'll have to be |
| 16 |
carefully before doing an update. I don't see that as too much to ask if |
| 17 |
I don't have to reinstall from scratch! |
