Re: Good News

"i suspect you want to keep your system up-to-date, esp for security."

Occasionally, but very little. You usually emerge on a test server first just to see what will happen of course, and do a quick search around for any problems before you do it. Compiling most popular server software doesn't take anywhere near as long as you'd think. Xen and VMware makes having a replica server a doddle.

"i love gentoo, but wouldn't run it on a server."

I'm the opposite :-). Gentoo makes a great server, the tools are first rate as is the really nice documentation. On the other hand, I just really cannot be bothered to compile stuff on a desktop - and desktop stuff really does take an absolute 'age' to compile.
