I’ve finally downgraded my whole machine to Gentoo Stable. Up til now, I’ve been running the unstable version on my laptop. I’m getting too old/busy for all the frequent upgrades though.

There are some apps I want to have unstable versions for, but I’ve learned how to manage those more efficiently through the /etc/portage/package.keywords file. Of course, in the whole process of downgrading I’ve lost access to my IPW2200 wireless card again (this seems to always happen with any big change). I need to figure out which version is the version of the drivers I need to be using. I seem to remember that the latest ones don’t work right.
