Hi all,
Ok, I'm using Gentoo for less than a week, and I think I'm falling in love with it :o)
I tried to emerge mozilla 1.3 yesterday, but in its dependencies included XFree 4.3.0. I thought I'd give it a try, and I emerged it accepting ~x86, but once I did it, Gnome didn't work. I thought about recompiling Gnome using an ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -u world, but after pretending, and having in mind that this is my main work box, and I cannot have it down for a lot of time, I decided to reemerge -u world to downgrade the installed things. So I put the computer at work before going to bed, and this morning, after a short etc-update, my system was working like a charm again. Man, this is really great, keep up the good work at Gentoo.
Aside from that, the question is, do you find the "unstable" platform reasonably stable? Any experiences from the ~side? And a few question about the use of ~x86. Is (not) recommended to emerge some packages with x86 ans some others with ~x86? (I did it and Gnome stopped working because of (I guess) the new version of XFree, I guess if less "delicate" packages are involved, the results shouldn't be so "dramatic"). And what about the use of different USE settings? I think changing this and making certain things (like depclean) could wipe out needed packages. So is there any "best practices" standard?
Regards Jose (A very happy Gentoo user)
