Hi
I've been following this list for a while and been downloading some documentation trying to prepare myself for my very first Gentoo installation. From what I have understood by reading the couple of last gwn:s from last year the 2005.0 release will mean some changes to basic things like the default kernel being 2.6. I've also seen on this list that upgrades of glibc and, in some cases, kernel 2.6 have caused problems. So, now I'm wondering whether it is adviceable to wait for the 2005.0 release with all its updates or whether I can just as well go along with 2004.3 and get the updates through Portage?
My ideas about my installation are the following:
- Use a stage 1 just because it is interesting to do all the compilation/installation steps.
- Use 2.6 because it seems stable enough to be used.
- Stay on the stable branch (for starters at least).
In December 2004 I picked up (from the Gentoo-web) that 2005.0 might be released in January 2005. Is there any more resent word on when 2005.0 will be available?
