perform the following update or will it be better to do upgrade in small steps?
(just want to make sure i dont break anything )

root@glenn glenn # emerge -u world -p

These are the packages that I would merge, in order.

Calculating world dependencies ...done!

Honestly, it depends on the packages. For example, when I upgrade my desktop with KDE, yeah, it's fine to go all in one step. However, if I'm upgrading my server or installing something new, I like to do it individually because sometimes there will be instructions at the end that I will miss if I do a bunch of them.

Most of the time, I upgrade everything seperataly, because also unmerge the old package ... duno wheter emerge -u world does that ? When upgrading kde, I just enter "emerge kde-base/kde, which will install kde completely. So it kinda depends on what has to be upgraded. The system however, I always upgrade with "emerge -u system"

btw: leuk om nog een belg tegen te komen

You can upgrade but you still will be left with the old package, thats where this one comes into play

To state the obvious do a emerge -p clean first check to see everything is fine and then emerge clean. I have some packages like gtk+ where I need 1.2 and 2.0.3. emerge clean would unmerge the later one (that ain't nice). Well I need some cleaning to do (thkx for reminding)
