It did not load from the first try for me. |

Than it take some time to load from the second attempt. |

A really awful blue background. |

The quote from the site: |

“We accept that members in more fortunate circumstances may feel |
| 20 |
that a site with a 16-colour palette and an optimal screen resolution |
| 21 |
of 640 x 200 pixels is not the best fit for their needs but we urge |
| 22 |
such members to keep the greater good in mind. The vast majority of |
| 23 |
potential new Gentoo Linux users are still using IBM XT computers, |
| 24 |
storing their information on 5.25-inch floppy disks and communicating |
| 25 |
via dial-up BBS,” said Roy Bamford (neddyseagoon), a Foundation trustee. |

Oh, my God! I really hope that it is the 1 April joke. |

"The second phase of the project to get Gentoo Linux to a wider user |
| 35 |
base will involve the creation of floppy disk sets containing a compact |
| 36 |
version of the operating system and a selection of software essentials. |
| 37 |
It is estimated that sets could be created using less than 700 disks |
| 38 |
each and sponsorship is currently being sought." |

Well, probably, it is. |
