Assuming you don't have ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" you can
emerge system anytime. In fact I do both system and world
several times a week. First I do emerge -pu --deep system
(or world) and see what it wants to do. If I disagree
with it I check it out and see why. If I agree I run it
without the -p switch. This is one of the advantages of
Gentoo - you can keep uptodate easily.

Hi,
I will begin with a question, is it good to make a emerge
-u system and how often should i do one?
I heard it was dangerous to upgrade the system...
i heard "if it aint broke, dont fix it" on the channel
gentoo, but what's the point of gentoo if not for
upgrades and
up2date packages...I would have stayed with Debian if i
wanted old stable packages.
second, after an emerge -u world, some permissions
changed on certain folder(well, i guess cause it was
working just before), and chmod doesnt even change them
i get no error message but the permissions stays the
same...
even a folder with read permission for everybody cant be
accessed besides logged in as root.
thanks all...
