[wuug-list] gentoo etc-update

[Aaron Mavrinac]

Properly managed with tools like etc-update, revdep-rebuild, eselect,
and the gentoolkit utilities, Portage can keep your Gentoo box, no
matter how uniquely configured, up to date and un-borked for years.
Like I was saying at the meeting, my Ultra 10 has made it through
major toolchain upgrades and even a migration from kernel 2.4 to 2.6
without a hitch.
