I'm not sure if this is any use to you, but what I tend to do with my |
| 16 |
workstation and laptop which I use daily for work is, I have the |
| 17 |
following bash aliases in place ( because I'm lazy ). I tend not to |
| 18 |
run a a full deep update via emerge during the work week but do look |
| 19 |
out for reported security vulnerabilities via the glsa-check |
| 20 |
application. I can then update only the affected package or packages |
| 21 |
as needed and the system remains otherwise in-tact and stable. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
alias secchk='glsa-check -p affected' |
| 24 |
alias secup='glsa-check -f affected' |

of ignorance to ensure that enlightenment does not become a threat. |
