Re: Re: [gentoo-user] Before I run into trouble
For the Cicso vpn client you'll need to rebuild it if you make a new kernel but I haven't found that to be a problem. As for this being updated - it's not part of portage so it shouldn't be affected. My copy was given to me by my employer so I just run the install. As far as I know you can't download it unless you are some special Cisco partner, big user, whatever.
