How stable is e17? The new stuff worth it? Any comments > about this? For a package which needs the KEYWORD '-*' it runs remarkably stable. Of course you can have bad luck while compiling the live-cvs ebuilds, but if you try again a little later everything builds fine. I update it about 2 times a week, and watch it grow since about half a year. Be warned that most of the configuration for e17 still happens from the command-line. The GUI tools will follow, but that will take some time. I you're not afraid of using the CL, e17 will reward you with the most advanced graphical features you have ever seen from a WM, while beeing incredibly fast and lightweight a the same time!
