Welcome to Gentoo

For the Kernel: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/kernel-upgrade.xml

I see a lot of users have there own way to upgrade. Mine is:

#emerge --sync
#emerge -DuavN system
#emerge -DuavN world
#dispatch-conf
#emerge --depclean -pv
#revdep-rebuild -pvi
#glsa-check -t all

You can skip system if you want to (I guess) I just run it to have a
better view on the kind of package I am updating.
you may want to drop the -p and -i option where needed (and if you are
sure you really want to).

This is Gentoo, we don't do anything the easy way ;-)

The Gentoo command for loading packages is emerge.  Periodically I
run eix-sync to update the list of packages available, then run
emerge -auDt world to update installed packages.

For the start I would recommend you reading the handbook.

Welcome aboard!

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


For packages I usally run the following commands:
# eix-sync
# emerge --tree --ask --update --newuse --deep world  emerge 
--depclean  revdep-rebuild

# dispatch-conf

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


Good luck ;-)

Hey, this is the easiest way!  ;-)

  

I agree, after testing Red Hat, Mandrake (long, long time ago) and
Ubuntu (a few minutes), Gentoo is the easiest way to upgrade  :-)
