Massive Upgrades
Wow! I brought my personal computer (Aragorn) to work with me today so that I could run updates and such on it this evening. Well, ok, it was mainly so that I could grab a few pieces of software for camp and get them all nicely configured. Anyways, I am currently running ‘emerge -u world’, which all you Gentoo users out there know means to upgrade any packages I have installed to their newest ‘stable’ version (I run x86, not ~x86). So, I have 160 packages that either need to be upgraded or installed. Um, ya … some of those packages are Gnome 2.6, OpenOffice 1.1.1, Samba 3, MPlayer, Mozilla … so I will be compiling for a long time. I’ll probably have to leave it overnight and hope it’s done tomorrow morning.
