The official party line from Gentoo/AMD64 is that if you use anything |
| 13 |
else than gentoo-sources, you are on your own and your bug reports will |
| 14 |
be ignored. vanilla-sources may be tolerated since gregkh&co seem to be |
| 15 |
doing a good job on the 2.6.x.y series. |

Using nitro or ck or love kernel may very well break your system and the |
| 18 |
breakage may not be fixed by simply switching back to gentoo-sources |
| 19 |
since it may break anything you have compiled or the content of your |
| 20 |
hard disk. If you want to try any of those highly experimental features, |
| 21 |
you are on your own. I would personally advise you pick only the |
| 22 |
specific features you want and apply them to gentoo sources so you can |
| 23 |
track down fast what breaks if you want to help debugging. |
