Two questions... 1) Will 6.3.0 be skipped for stabilization? 2) If someone decides to override and set "-pie" in USE, will their current systems continue to function? On a new install I'll go with the default, but "emerge -e" takes a long time on my current machine. It's an ancient 2008 CORE2 with 3 gigs of ram, but it works fine for me, including Youtube 1080P streaming. -- Walter Dnes I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
