Using the Funtoo experimental branch is considered as experimental (unsupported) and be prepared to see various package compilations errors or other problems.


The Funtoo experimental branch is used by Funtoo Core Developers to try and test new features to be included in Funtoo stable and current branches when ready. Users that want to help the developers to test those new features are welcome to switch to the experimental branch and report problems on IRC or the Forum. However, problems may arise from using it and there is no guarantee that your system will stay usable.
