[ale] Testing

[J. D.]

Gentoo can be fun to tinker with and get your hands dirty on. Here are the
emerge steps I use. I found them awhile back, posted by a Gentoo dev on a
forum:

# emerge --sync
# emerge -puD --newuse world
# emerge -uD --newuse world
# emerge depclean
# revdep-rebuild ( if applicable)
# etc-update (if applicable)

Good times..

J. D.
