A stable and a unstalbe (or testing) one. This becouse i usually find that some e-build simpy does not compile. I know that it is a relly difficult task to get all the e-build working right, but i also think that some people (like me) should prefer to work with a little outdated packages that have been tested for some time, instead of having to work with cutting edge packages that doesn't compile. Don't get me wrong. I belive that gentoo is the best linux distro i have ever seen, but this should really be an important way to go. It also should be really easy to implement thanks to the possibility to select different profiles. So let me know what you think about this. Thanks Stefano Peluchetti
