Hi James, 

Thanks for the feedback. 

I do have some (Older) jffnms installs running on Gentoo, it used to be my 
Linux platform of choice, but I have a few Linux n00bs working with me now and 
they voted for Ubuntu over Gentoo. Perhaps I should not have given them a vote, 
but I was trying to be nice :-)

Essentially Ubuntu is much easier to keep up-to-date and patched than Gentoo 
which is important in a hosting environment. While emerge is a great packet 
manager I did end up in dependency hell a couple of times and was bored of 
watching applications compile.

I am interested to know how are you patching your Gentoo installs. Are you just 
looking for updates to core packages? I use an authenticated Nessus scan to 
inform me of missing patches, this worked well but meant I was only patching / 
upgrading applications when they had security issues, not really proactive..

Regards,

Mat.
