simple security

I was able to install Gentoo finally on my server. No issues whatsoever now. Even the network card is up and running. Seems that it needed "tulip" in the list of modules to be loaded at startup. Now how would a user figure that out? One word answer: Community. Just to a search on the net for your issues and mostly likely you will see someone take the pains the explain a solution.

Now comes the tough part of installing: Apache, Java, PHP, Perl, Tomcat, CVS, MySQL etc etc. Might even install a wiki.

At this point I am not sure, how would I keep up with the security patches from the Gentoo dev guys. Need to figure out that one.
