When I ran an internal gentoo server at my last job, I would try to |
| 8 |
schedule an update about once a month. That was a lesson learned after |
| 9 |
the box just worked great for 7 months, then we wanted to add a new |
| 10 |
application that needed newer libraries, that turned into a 2 day |
| 11 |
marathon to update the server (it was old, slow hardware). |

I will predict that you will most miss portage after having to deal with |
| 14 |
the brain dead apt package manager. |
