Would Phoronix do Gentoo Linux versus Ubuntu Linux benchmarks?

I wonder why they didn't test 64bit though. Who in his right mind would use Gentoo on a 32bit (i.e. Atom) CPU anyway?

As far as preserved libs go, it is known to be broken in 2.2. Please dont recommend that people use it right now unless you tell them it is for bug testing only. I looked at the code, but I cant figure out the structure. I'm just not sure what they are trying to do with it.

I used to think that there wouldn't be much use to phoronix running gentoo tests, but actually it might be useful for one reason: it's not ubuntu. Running everything off ubuntu results in a heavy reliance upon the way that ubuntu does things - which may cause various conclusions to be ultimately flawed.
Gentoo, Fedora, openSUSE, something else to compare the tests against would provide much more useful information than only running tests against ubuntu.

The library preservation feature which ferreira talked about is new to portage 2.2. It is not the same as slotting.

Upgrading Gentoo works fine for me. If it is possible that you are the first one with a configuration that upgrades will break, but like with all distributions, that is when you file a bug report.

Slotting is a solution, but it isnt the best solution.
