@dylansmrjones "And February '08 for gentoo if it takes just as long this time as it did for Gnome 2.18. The stabilizing in gentoo of the last couple of Gnome releases has taken exponentially longer each time - who knows, perhaps Gnome 2.22 will be out before Gnome 2.20 goes stable. Gnome 2.18 went stable just last month (August, whole five months)."
FYI gnome 2.20 is already available for Gentoo.

It is your decision how stable you want to run *your* system, although If you do not know how to use portage effectively I suspect you should wait until Gnome 2.20 is stable.

*LOL*
I've been using gentoo for years, and if you check gentoo's bugzilla you'll see I am the de-facto gentoo maintainer of the pimlico project and a few other things.
When I say stable I mean stable as in x86 instead of ~x86 or [m]x86 or [m]~x86
It is not stable until it is in the stable branch in gentoo. I've tried using Gnome before it went stable in gentoo, and I'm not doing that again 
(Gnome 2.14 btw. - with GCC 4.1.1 from unstable branch as well.. not wise )
