Gentoo ~x86 (or ~whatever) is roughly equivalant to a mix of Debian "Testing" and "Unstable". A package may be ~ simply because it hasn't been tested enough yet to certify as stable. Or it may be horribly broken. Or somewhere in between. If you were comfortable running Debian unstable, you'll be comfortable running Gentoo ~x86. -- Walter Dnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> In linux /sbin/init is Job #1 My musings on technology and security at http://tech_sec.blog.ca -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
