Hey all, His experience is pretty interesting...
Does portage keep track of settings so that you don't have reconfigure it everytime you do an upgrade of a package? In other words, if (for example) I emerge apache and it reconfigured to serve webs from /var/www/html, instead of /usr/local/htdocs/ would portage get updated with that new information? Portage is pretty "smart" especially in comparison to other software management tools (up2date, and mandrake update)...so I wouldn't be surprised if it did.
