If you want to test systemd, you don't need to use my overlay; and actually, I would not recommend it: it's made thinking for people already using systemd. Just follow the wiki instructions: http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Systemd I don't want you to get the wrong idea because of my possible mistakes: use systemd for Gentoo as the Gentoo devs have planned it.
