In my make.conf I have: PORTAGE_ELOG_CLASSES=info warn error log Maybe I should skip: info and log; to have less trafic. That sets what you log, there are also settings for how to log it.

I think this is a reasonable time. I upgrade my backup machines first and if nothing happen (no surprises) I proceed with main server upgrade. Wait for one week and if everything is working correctly I upgrade my boxes in a remote location over ssh. All boxes are rsync to single local box.
