Personally for those machines I have decided to keep super stable (in=20 terms of updating software, at least as far as that is reasonably=20 possible with Gentoo) I have had good results with choosing whatever=20 Greg KH dubs his Long Term kernel (currenlty 3.4) and then simply=20 package.keyword that whole series: =3Dsys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.0* # GKH stable =3Dsys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.1* -* =3Dsys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.2* -* =3Dsys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.3* -* =3Dsys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.5* -* # EOL =3Dsys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.4* # GKH stable =3Dsys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.6* -* # EOL =3Dsys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.7* -* # not supported by NVidia 310.xx I don't mind keywording the minor-minor release from Gentoo, I find it=20 unlikely much will break in such a release. Much less in any case than jumping up two minor releases for example. HTH Peter --=20 Gentoo is like IKEA -- only stable. =A9 P. Gantner 2003-2013 ---1463809792-1099595209-1361813721=:9535--
