I started to get interested in gentoo when a friend of mine, that knows that I mainly use FreeBSD, told me that I should try out gentoo due to its phylosophy. This came up, because I said I would probably have to use linux in the meantime due to Samba. Anyway, it looks interesting and opens new horizons for linux imho. Though, one question remains a mistery for me: can we full upgrade the system, or are we stuck, as with every linux, with the stock binary install ? I mean, instead of a "make buildworld", can we upgrade the "world" package, from src ? This is a must for me, as I mainly work from home, and I'd hate to go some place just to upgrade a server via cd or anything similar. Congrats on an interesting linux :-] ...:-=>> The freaking Mail Band <<=-:... hununu@netcabo.pt D.E.Q. @ I.S.T. - Portugal
