True enough about xfree but 4.3 will make it's way into the source tree 
eventually and I find updating xfree86 much more of a pain most of the time 
and I find it easier to just build the system with that in the first place. 
:)

I'll likely rebuilt my system when 1.4 final comes out and then again when 4.3 
of xfree86 comes out. :) I don't mind.

I do nightly emerge -u world's as it is. :)

Besides each time I rebuild my system it gets better and better as I find what 
I like and don't like and update my list of software to install and such. I 
find that there are times when updating things on a regular bases all the 
time breaks some things. A recent example is gnucash completely broke with an 
update (don't know which because I don't run gnucash all that often) and had 
to re-emerge it to fix it. Cleaning a system off once in a while is a good 
thing I think. :)

I normally test allot of software and enjoy doing a bit of bug reporting now 
and again but time is short these days with it taking 2 days to build gentoo 
on my 2.2 ghz machine and with a heavy load of study for my CCIE so I haven't 
had time to build an RCx release of gentoo.
