    I installed Gentoo 2004.3 under the watchful eye of a Gentoo developer. (Gentoo did come in handy because I was using amd64 Opterons before most binary distributions had 64-bit packages.) It also took me about 3 years to get tired of rebuilding world "continuously". I similarly switch to Debian on 2007-11 and I'm writing this from that installation, just migrated across several generations of hardware.

    Yeah, I run a mixed (unsupported) system from time to time for hw support, but testing requires a lot for admin time than stable does, so I can certainly see that moving to something more malleable than stable. Arguably that's what I'm doing while my system is mixed, since it's not (supported) Debian.
