Just pick [ any | your favorite binary distro ]. After [ a few | many ] binary package upgrades you'll reach the desired (<g>) unstable stage which is why the binary distros typically issue a new release to keep everything working. Otherwise, just run your compiles overnight or when you're having fun browsing the net or ...., and worry less about electricity. -- Collins -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
