Hi All-

I've read the portage documentation at
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/index.xml?catid=gentoo and I've searched
and browsed the gentoo-user mailing list archive, but I have a question
that I don't see answered anywhere.

It seems to me that it must be true that sometimes, after a system
upgrade done with:

emerge -uD system
or
emerge -uD world

I must reboot the computer for the changes to take effect.

I reboot if I need to install or change hardware. As far as updates go, you may have to reboot after compiling a new kernel.

I think that I may have read somewhere how to change kernels without rebooting, so you may not even need to reboot for any software.
