That's reasonable. Here's my daily update script:
#!/bin/bash
#
# /usr/local/sbin/sync-update
#
emerge --sync &&\
echo &&\
echo " Updating eix database..."; eix-update; echo &&\
emerge -auDvU --jobs=12 --load-average=20 --nospinner --keep-going
world &&\
echo
That's it. I don't need anything more. Others have a fancier setup that runs
pretend updates overnight and e-mails them with the results, but I prefer my
way. You prefer yours of course, but it leads you into shark-infested waters
because you haven't a clue what you're doing. That's why you should go back
to doing things manually until you learn what you need to know.
Better still: switch to a distro that suits you better.

How should I set up KMail's filters to ignore not only an obnoxious
contributor but all replies to him as well? Just filtering on his address
anywhere in the headers is too coarse because interesting titbits sometimes
appear in the conversation.
