<excellent procedure snipped> Just a few comments. 1) If this were my company, I would not be in such a hurry to do upgrades. Except for security problems (do them right away), do the emerge sync and emerge -p[uU]v frequently on your main machine, evaluate the results, wait a week or two, check forums and this list, then upgrade your primary machine, evaluate again, and then and only then proceed to upgrade the others. 2) Automation, IMO, will eventually lead to disaster, if you expect everything to work every time. Play safe. You really have nothing to gain at the bleeding edge. Don't be lulled into thinking that all packages marked stable are stable in every environment. 3) I've seldom regretted being a few updates behind, but I certainly remember the pain I experienced before I arrived at this approach. And I have only my single desktop system to think about. HTH, -- Collins - Denver Area - Gentoo stable kernel 2.6.2-rc1 -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
