I have sys-kernel/vanilla-sources in package.keywords, unversioned. So depclean cleans away the older versions, and I keep the latest one. I'm on 3.17.1 right now, but the moment 3.17.2 comes out I will switch to it in all my machines: with kerninst is all of it mostly automatized. And with systemd, rebooting to a new kernel takes just a few seconds ;) Regards. --=20 Canek Pel=C3=A1ez Vald=C3=A9s Profesor de asignatura, Facultad de Ciencias Universidad Nacional Aut=C3=B3noma de M=C3=A9xico
