I suppose if you just use emerge -u @world, are running stable, and possibly don't care about services using old-version libs... If you're running ~arch, prefer emerge -NuD @world, and do a lib_users or the like after updates, at least here, I've found it's often easier to simply reboot, than to restart X/KDE and half a dozen services, even if I could in theory avoid the full reboot. That -D makes a big difference, tho, and -N of course compounds it. Between that and the more frequent updates on ~arch... But of course I'm usually running a live-git kernel too, so that just gives me even more excuse to do a git pull and a kernel rebuild before the reboot too, so as to get the new kernel as well. =:^) -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
