18 For starters go through the Handbook and the official documentation as
19 it provides the answers to your questions.

21 For packages I usally run the following commands:
22 # eix-sync
23 # emerge --tree --ask --update --newuse --deep world && emerge
24 --depclean && revdep-rebuild
25 # dispatch-conf

27 For the kernel read the Gentoo Linux Kernel Upgrade Guide
28 (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/kernel-upgrade.xml) and follow the
29 detailed steps.
