Or stick with xorg-7 and don't do all the little updates? If i have a
working package, I won't do an update unless the *package* changes. For
example I wouldn't update a working foo-1.0-r1 to foo-1.0-r2. I would
(probably) do an update to foo-1.0.1 or something.
The approach I have learned to take with Gentoo is to keep my important
apps stable. I don't update courier or postfix often. I will go and
see what the update does and if it is something I need. If it is a
minor update that corrects handling of Chinese characters during a full
moon, I won't grab it. I keep gnome at the latest official stable
version. For apps that are beta quality, I keep those that the latest
version. For example I unmask and use the latest monodevelop.
Gentoo can be a very nice stable system or a
pulling-out-your-hair-why-did-I-do-that-upgrade system. Pick which one
you want :)
