All these responses are very helpful - thanks for taking your time to reply!

Yea, my needs are pretty simple - just maintaining computational
workstations (one at home, one at work) - I am the primary user.  I am
not running any servers on either box.  I've never used cron - I
haven't felt the need to automate system administration in Gentoo any
more than what's already provided.  I keep marveling at emerge and the
portage system because it sure makes things easy on most occasions!!
I really don't have a problem running "emerge --pretend" by hand,
studying the output, and updating as needed.

My problem in the past was falling too far behind with the updates,
and now that I have fresh installs of Gentoo, I don't want to repeat
that.
