Hmm, I didn't say this - Mr. Simpson did. However, yes, ~
means it's unstable for various reasons (ebuild not
tested, app is unstable, etc.) so those of us who need to
run use no ~arch. The no ~arch is stable stuff and Gentoo
seems to be pretty conservative in what they recommmend.

Since this was based off of Gentoo 1.0 how relevant is
this for the current 1.4 release in a production server
environment?
Thanks,

I thought if you wanted "bleeding edge" you used ~ARCH in
your
make.conf. For those of us who like to *use* our machines
rather
than play with then, no "~" means you can expect things
to be as
stable as any other production-quality system. Is that
not the case?
