Yup, that's basically it to the upgrade. Gentoo is known for very good,
clean, thorough documentation (including install). They even offer
instructions on how to install from an already installed distro.
Gentoo is GREAT with dependencies. It's also WONDERFUL for keeping up to
date with packages, at least withing about a week. A simple `emerge
sync;emerge -u world` will upgrade everything on your computer to the
latest stable version. This includes the dependencies and any new ones
that may arise. If you ever need Gentoo help, #gentoo @ FreeNode is
there for you, as well am I (and others?) at #plugaz @ FreeNode.
