RE: [gentoo-user] Exluding some apps from emerge --update world

...even if...

The problem is that there is always something to emerge every day it seems
and it's getting tiresome, especially for things like KDE or Gnome that are
huge and take days on my 1Ghz Celeron.

I run a firewall and only ssh access (no telnet). There are no users on the
server (except me), so I'm not real worried about "gaping security holes",
as I'm sure the 0.5.3 version will fix it and be released not far after the
-r1, -r2, -r3 that I tend to always see.
