I'd go with emerge -auvDN system and check the output carefully before |
| 10 |
opting to proceed. I'd also make sure that ELOG is correctly set up in |
| 11 |
make.conf so you don't miss any important massages. |

After updating system, it would be prudent to run revdep-rebuild before |
| 14 |
moving onto the rest of world. |

emerge -e is pointless, portage is quite capable of determining what |
| 17 |
needs to be updated, and reemerging everything just creates noise and |
| 18 |
confusion that could make it harder to deal with any potential problems. |
