I test drove the LiveCD.. Very nice.

Two questions:
1. Has anyone ran this long enough to comment on stability?  I took a 
look at adding this to my Gentoo workstation about a month ago but the 
"Warning: This is very experimental, alpha software." in the HowTo made 
me skittish for a box I still need to be able to use each day.

2. Has anyone in the group successfully ran Xgl with Xinerama or NVidia 
Twinview?  From Googling it seems folks are having mixed results.

Thanks,
Ken
