Subject: [gentoo-user] Updating our live servers. I'm scared!

Hello Everyone,

Just got a ticket assigned to me where we need to update our production servers.

uname -a
Linux noun 3.4.9-gentoo #2 SMP Sat Oct 13 09:35:07 EDT 2012 x86_64
Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.60GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

eselect
[18]  hardened/linux/amd64 *

I don't think they have been updated since the initial install and
wanted to get a little feedback on some safe practices and methods
that should be performed before and while doing so.

Thanks in Advance,

Nick.
