Just a suggestion, if you have a few GB of storage space you can make
chroots with different grimoires and use them, and leave you main system
on stable. Ive been putting together a script for generating a clean
chroot (chrootgen.sh), its in //sgl/misc/chrootgen. Theres some included
instructions in the usage message. Ask me on irc if you need any help
or have any questions.
