So decided to go back to 3.8.13. Yesterday I started updateing (eix-sync and emerge) that Gentoo and it ends up in an endless loop (bash update) of configureing (damn slow on that mini iron) and compiling - as it looks - of a single file. After more than 10 hours I CTRL-C that, reupated and now I am ...updateing the bash again. Sigh. Currently "fun" is something else... Is the 3.15.10++ branch free of things like random reboot and not powering off? Best regards, mcc
