I just got really tired of eternally being The Only One In The Place Who Knows Gentoo(tm) and who doesn't blindly "emerge -uND world" on a remote box then walk away.... At least with apt and yum juniors can be trained fairly quickly to do reliable world updates safely. This keeps the boss off my neck. That makes me happy. On my personal servers and laptops, it will take on the order of atomic warfare to make me give up my beloved Gentoo there :-) -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
