1 Well, I'll put in the obligatory reference for E17. Yes, it isn't
2 alpha yet (though they are going to skip alpha anyways), but it runs
3 just fine for myself and many others. You have to build it from CVS,
4 though, but there are ebuilds for that in portage (and some scripts
5 you can find to make it easy to update/backup/restore). Check the
6 Gentoo Forums for some more info (under Desktop Environments).
