Updating once every three months is a short time between updates. |

Updating Gentoo is always extremely painful, time consuming and prone to |

break something. |

Just look at how many posts about update problems there are on this |

Spending 80 or 90% of your time at the computer with trying to update |

the system wasn't necessary 20 years ago and shouldn't be nowadays. If |
| 22 |
updating took about 5 minutes and could be expected to go without |
| 23 |
problems, I might be able to do it monthly. |
