When I ran an internal gentoo server at my last job, I would try to schedule an update about once a month. That was a lesson learned after the box just worked great for 7 months, then we wanted to add a new application that needed newer libraries, that turned into a 2 day marathon to update the server (it was old, slow hardware). I will predict that you will most miss portage after having to deal with the brain dead apt package manager. Good Luck
