30 I wasn't even thinking about openrc or anything. I was just following
31 the news item and the fact I'm not sure if it even applies to me or
32 not. I know I set my time zone during the install but not sure if that
33 is what it is talking about either. It doesn't sound like it, but I'm
34 not sure.

36 Going to do the upgrade and see what happens. I guess a downgrade will
37 put me back to where I was.
