Thanks Alan and Dale... but since this is a production server, guess I'll wait till this weekend to do the deed. On last question/confirmation - There are a few updates other than just the baselayout/OpenRC updates pending... can I still emerge those now, prior to the baselayout update, like normal? On that note - I think I asked this a few months ago - I'm assuming I could continue using the old baselayout for a while, if I wanted, emerging updates (skipping the baselayout/OpenRC updates) for a while, without any problems, right? Thanks again guys... probably fretting over nothing, like the rest of you...
