So, falling back on stable is solving your issues with the broken |
| 8 |
nvidia-module, if I'm reading you correctly? |

Unstable can be ... well, too unstable at times . I'm running unstable amd64 |
| 10 |
and been forced to live with all its quirks. That can be just as anoying as |
| 11 |
rewarding helping out solving bugs etc. |

Oh, indeed. That is understandable. If you use your Gentoo-box for actuall |
| 19 |
production don't go with unstable, even if there are some temptation getting |
| 20 |
on the bleeding edge. Better to have a working system than none at all, as |
| 21 |
you've no doubt seen during the last few days. |

Good luck in the future! |
