and aditionally from time to time: |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
eix -u |
| 52 |
(packages which have at least one slotted version installed which is not |
| 53 |
the best version within that slot) |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
and |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
eix-test-obsolete -d |
| 58 |
(display missing packages or packages with obsolete |
| 59 |
entries in /etc/portage/package.* ) |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
Check for viruses, lookout for SMART data, and filesystem inconsistencies, check |
| 62 |
temperatures, check log files, listen to fans... there are many levels where a system could fail. |
