[gentoo-announce] 2004.1 release

[John Davis]

Gentoo users -

The Gentoo Linux Release Engineering team is proud to announce the
release of Gentoo Linux 2004.1. Please consult our mirror index [1] for
download locations and the Gentoo Linux Installation Handbook [2] for
detailed installation instructions.  Support for Gentoo Linux 2004.1 can
be found through our user community by way of the Gentoo Forums [3], IRC
[4], and various community mailing-lists [5]. Release notes for each
architecture can be found linked from the Gentoo Linux Release
Engineering project page [6].
 
Gentoo Linux 2004.1 highlights many bugfixes that enhance the usability
and quality of all the release components. Much work has been done to
improve the overall quality of the release, such as providing GPG
signatures for security and online listings of what files are included
in the installation stages, PackageCDs, and LiveCDs for each
architecture. Additionally, Catalyst v1.0.7 [7], the Gentoo Linux
release meta-tool, has undergone numerous improvements that have
solidified its codebase.
 
Pre-packaged Gentoo Linux CD sets as well as well as an easy to use
donation system are available through the Gentoo Linux store [8]. 
For more information, please contact the Gentoo Linux Release
Engineering team at releng@g.o. Thank you for choosing Gentoo
Linux!
 
Sincerely,
The Gentoo Linux Release Engineering team
