 In fact, there is no difference between the various releases after they have

+As such, running <c>emerge --sync &amp;&amp; emerge -uDN world</c> will bring your
 entire system up to speed with the "latest Gentoo". The differences between
 individual releases lie in the installation medium and pre-compiled packages.
 See the <uri link="/doc/en/gentoo-upgrading.xml">Gentoo Upgrading Guide</uri>
 for more information about profiles and their role in upgrading.

+Also note that the <c>emerge -uDN world</c> command updates the packages you
+have installed as well as its dependencies, but not the build-time dependencies
+(packages needed during builds but not when the software is installed). To
+update those as well, add the <c>--with-bdeps=y</c> option.
