You only upgrade the packages you have installed.
I generally do "emerge rsync && emerge -up world" once or twice a fortnight and unless something like Ooo or KDE is upgraded it often will complete everything within half an hour.

Yes but to stay bleeding edge don't you have to compile each time you download a new package?? I install the latest version of cooker each day. With Gentoo, doesn't that mean I'd have to comipile a lot of packages each day?? Mandrake does the compiling for me with Cooker yes??
Cheers

That's the point. After you've done it once, you *can* forget about the compile time. But the performance benefits continue every time you use the program.
