I have 2 gentoo boxes in our apartment(one's quiet since we just moved
and I haven't gotten back to it yet), I sync around once a week, and
-uDavN world when I sync. If there are packages that look important
(gcc, glibc, baselayout, etc) I do a bit more research. I watch
gentoo.org and this list. The only time I put off an update is if I
see notes about it on gentoo.org or such; things like the xorg modular
ebuilds, the new java system, etc. I have portage email me the elog.
It's just me and my wife using the boxes, so I'm not as careful as I
would be were it a production server, but I've never really been
bitten, either. As for balance with what I'm actually paid to do, if
I'm taken up with work, I don't update until I get some free time.
