13 I am saying constant fiddling with a mythbox is counterproductive. Once you
14 have a stable system resist the tempation to update anything unless really
15 needed or wanted. I would of course update mythtv itself if there are
16 important bugs or desirable features, but a daily/weekly emerge --sync &&
17 emerge --update breaks more than it ever fixes on a box where stability is
18 paramount to family acceptance.
