Upgrading Gentoo

Well, I upgraded gentoo recently and noticed dbus had been masked. I unmerged it as usual, and went to work the next day without thinking much about it. My wife called at 9 saying stuff didn't load and after going home I realized a "revdep-rebuild -i" was in order to fix it. Not too bad, but be prepared when you emerge world.

Also, the new harddrive is really making my computer load faster. At least it seems to me to be doing so. I've been enjoying that allot. I'm thinking about trying FreeBSD 6.2 on some machines and comparing it to my Gentoo setup to see if there's any difference there. I'll post numbers if I do. "emerge --sync" goes wicked fast now which seems to be the main plus. I don't know if the other drive is going bad or just old / slow.

Also, for the copy, I used
rsync --delete --verbose --archive --one-file-system --exclude=/lost+found/ / src /dest to copy the file systems onto the new drive before doing the grub / lilo update.

Well I guess that's it, I'll post some podcasts soon as I've got a few good ones.
