Why? |

From my POV the only valid reason for someone to want a new Gentoo |
| 10 |
release is if (s)he wants to install it on a new hardware, which is not |
| 11 |
supported by the latest release. |
| 12 |
|

On the other hand I've installed Gentoo from its own CD only once. In |
| 14 |
all other cases (including my first install) I've done the installation |
| 15 |
in chroot from another, already installed, GNU/Linux distro [1] or from |
| 16 |
any bootable GNU/Linux CD [1] which supports the hard disk controllers, |
| 17 |
console and the network device. Yet another reason to love Gentoo! ;-) |

In other words I don't need too many releases, but prefer the devs |
| 20 |
spend their time for Gentoo on killing :) bugs and filling portage with |
| 21 |
new software instead of taking snapshots and building CD/DVD images. |
