When it comes to compiling from source I have just begun learning the
"ins and outs" as they say. Now . . . here is a real newbie question,
sorry but I don't know. What happens when said distro comes along with
their own upgrade? Let's just say the distro comes along with version
4.4.5 upgrade, for example, is my version 4.5.0 from source installed to
their paths ignored? As in left alone . . . as in their upgrade does not
"mess up" my compiled installation?
