My understanding of what an RC is, is exactly what you have said. It just seems like Gentoo doesn't use the same definitions. They have been adding major new functionality into the "release candidate" such as greatly improved auto-detection and many other things.... It sorta gives the "RC" no meaning at all. I guess Gentoo is a resource for building what you want, then. No a real distrobution. But it seems to be a great resource, in many respects. > > On Thu, 19 Jun 2003 19:23:58 -0700 > > Matthew Tedder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Is there a rough date for the final release of Gentoo? > > > > And what exactly constitutes a Release Candidate as opposed to an Alpha > > or Beta?
