Once upon a time, a little over 20 years ago, I did some studying, and I searched mailing lists postings for recommendations, and I settled on emerge -auvND I've been using that ever since on a handful of machines. I'd have to spend a few minutes reading the man page to remember the significance of a couple of the flags, but I note that differs only in verbosity from Dale's usage. -- Grant
