Ask me how I learned this. >=20 >=20 I honestly was afraid of this with running some updates lately. Like... Not this specifically, but because someone was commenting about eudev->udev causing problems... And then the problems I was having a hard time with some updates on a relatively new instance, and I noticed that was something that needed to be done for Gentoo purposes... They do seem to be doing *somewhat* better for having Gentoo workable than when I started looking at using them in part because of that (yeah I know it's not recommended, and I don't really recommend it for anyone else, but it's what I like).
