Today is the 13th birthday of my main workstation's @Gentoo Linux amd64 install. 13 years of OS updates across 5 PCs, no reinstalling.

Grep on the log says I've compiled a total of 69100 packages in these 13 years, or an average of 14.5 per day.

And I did 938 'emerge --sync's and a total of 2390 world updates, though only ~400 "unique" ones (on different days), or 3 per month.

My only gripes with Gentoo are compile times for bigger things and package availability. I do very much admire it still though, very cool.

Packages that are the bane of every Gentoo desktop user: Chromium, Firefox, Libreoffice, and like four different WebKit variants.

How much total downtime? And how many restarts?

Sorry, I don't keep syslogs that far back :-). But not that many, you only really need to restart for kernel updates.
