I have 2 gentoo boxes in our apartment(one's quiet since we just moved |
| 20 |
and I haven't gotten back to it yet), I sync around once a week, and |
| 21 |
-uDavN world when I sync. If there are packages that look important |
| 22 |
(gcc, glibc, baselayout, etc) I do a bit more research. I watch |
| 23 |
gentoo.org and this list. The only time I put off an update is if I |
| 24 |
see notes about it on gentoo.org or such; things like the xorg modular |
| 25 |
ebuilds, the new java system, etc. I have portage email me the elog. |

It's just me and my wife using the boxes, so I'm not as careful as I |
| 28 |
would be were it a production server, but I've never really been |
| 29 |
bitten, either. As for balance with what I'm actually paid to do, if |
| 30 |
I'm taken up with work, I don't update until I get some free time. |
