Read my lips. Take up the challenge. Check package versions which you currently use against those available from http://www.gentoo.org/dyn/pkgs/index.xml or http://gentoo-stable.iq-computing.de/
You have to manually chose to use packages which are not classed as Stable but even the stable ones are more up to date than those of other distros IMNSH.

If this is the case, it's not a lot different to running something like Debian's testing/unstable tree (or, for that matter, any other distributions pre-release trees). So it would seem that the claims of Gentoo having more up-to-date packages than other distributions might be a little exaggerated. Cheers, -mjg -- Matthew Gregan |/ /| [EMAIL PROTECTED]
