Thanks for the suggestions, and I hope you'll like Gentoo Linux. If possible, |
| 16 |
try to wait for a little bit and grab Gentoo Linux 1.0_rc5 -- it'll make your |
| 17 |
life a lot easier. The problem with a release date is that a lot of the time, |
| 18 |
it depends on how busy we are at our "real" jobs... but I continue to hope that |
| 19 |
1.0_rc5 will be out sometime in April. We haven't had a new release for a while, |
| 20 |
and right now 1.0_rc4_pre2 is a bit dated. |
