Hi mates,

I would love using Gentoo as Desktop and Server OS. I used sometime
ago, but it caused me the fact of not being able to upgrade my systems
weekly or daily, because sometimes you needed to upgrade the kernel and
I was not really sure that the config entered for the kernel (loaded
through Genkernel but with menuconfig and there load .config file) that
was written with previous kernel version building was going to not
cause something weird or bad functioning of newer built kernels with
that config.

Does exist a way... where you could emerge world, update all the
system, finally end up by upgrading the kernel and being sure that the
old .config you used through menuconfig (or by any other way of
importing) would not select erroneous parameters in newer kernels?. I
though there were some... lint options for the .cofig?. I think I have
used them sometime ago....

So for sumarizing, how do you manage for keep your systems up-to-date
using Gentoo?. How do you manage to keep your kernel upgraded?.

Cheers,
