4 Then you shouldn't be upgrading systems that you cannot have downtime,
5 take your time to play around with disposable installations(VMs ,
6 containers, etc..).

17 DON'T unmerge python, remember emerge runs on python, you will likely
18 be unable to use the package manager if you do that.
19 there's a news item(the 12th) regarding this, read it, the
20 instructions are there.

24 I'm not an expert, but in your situation I would make a chroot, copy
25 the /etc/portage configuration files, upgrade in the chroot generating
26 binary packages[1] and then upgrade from the binaries. it takes much
27 less time to upgrade when you have everything compiled, and you only
28 need to 'merge' it.
