Hello, I've been using the gentoo stable branch since I began with this distro (around 4 years ago), but lately I've been unmasking almost all packages I use in my daily work (emacs, firefox, gnome*, xmonad, etc).
The reason for doing so is that what is considered as unstable as been regarded as stable releases for the developers, and the truth is that the problems I got for using outdated software were more that the ones I had for using unstable versions. Thus, I'm thinking about switching all of my system to the unstable branch. But first I want to be sure that this is reasonable given the problems I described before. Can you provide me some useful advice according to your experience? Thanks in advance, Damian.
