So to see if i am right


A emerge -u world includes all the packages you would get when do emerge -u system except with some extra packages you emerge by yourself like gkrellm to name one?

Thanks for your time

Yup. Everything ever emerged that can be updated will be updated with emerge -u world, only the core of your Linux box will be upgraded with emerge -u system.

Let me warn you when using emerge -u world, every now and then ebuilds will be heavily modified and you might break something.
