I've been running two ~xf86 systems for 6 months, always trying the latest 2.6 kernel, and keeping system and world up to date. I've only run into one ps/2 mouse problem with an earlier 2.6.1 mm kernel, and an ocassional compiling problem on packages, due to problematic ebuilds. As examples, the recent module-init-tools (>pre5) and grub problems were easily corrected by going back to a previous version, and the kernel problem was solved with newer versions. If you know a little, and can search the forum, these types of things are really pretty minor, and only happen rarely. IMO, with a little common sense, basic Linux skills, and knowing how to mask/unmask packages, running ~xf86 systems should present no unsurmountable problem for most Gentoo users. Mine have been few and far between. Robert Crawford -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
