Hello everybody :) |

I'd like to argue about this problem, since my point of view slightly |
| 4 |
differs about this "problem". |
| 5 |
|

I think that releasing installation media more often would make sense, |
| 7 |
more than in the case of stages. I wrote a small article a few weeks ago, |
| 8 |
about the "Small Gentoo" LiveCD (1). In just a few days, it has become one |
| 9 |
of the most read articles of my site. People really often encounter |
| 10 |
problems with recent hardware, and I must confess that I had sometimes to |
| 11 |
bring them to "alternative" LiveCDs (2), because Gentoo minimal lacked |
| 12 |
such hw support. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
One way could be to automate LiveCD generation, as Debian or Ubuntu do |
| 15 |
with their "weekly /nightly builds", but not to provide support on it. |
| 16 |
Maybe we could have two kinds of releases : experimental releases, |
| 17 |
automatically generated, and "official" releases ? |
| 18 |
|

About the stages, I think things are well as they already are. Upgrading |
| 20 |
to "latest gentoo release" isn't really a big problem, when you have the |
| 21 |
hardware support ("emerge --sync ; emerge system -e" solves this |
| 22 |
problem most of the time ?). |
