According to my intepretation of the site, the packages are synced and burnt/pressed within 24 hours of the order. ------------------------ Gentoo has been the rising star in the Linux community with it's innovative ports system and the capability to easily compile and optimize selected packages from source. By installing only the packages you desire and really need, you have the ability to customize your system to your heart's content. It's strength also lies in how quickly new releases of popular applications make it to the portage tree. You can be enjoying programs such as that new KDE desktop weeks or even months before "that other major distro" is getting ready for a new major release. Yet, even with it's strengths there are some 'challenges': * to really obtain a full Gentoo Linux install you really need high speed internet access. This is because after the base install from CD the majority of packages are then downloaded from a mirror to be compiled and installed on your system. * if you are behind a firewall it can be difficult (though possible) to sync the portage tree with your Gentoo system To address these barriers we've created Gentoo Portage Essentials CD's, an exclusive offering from Edmunds Enterprises. We automatically build these daily custom Gentoo package CD's which contain the latest stable version of the the most popular and essential programs that will meet the needs of most Linux users. By scanning the portage tree for the previous day you are assured that only stable packages are selected and that they are the most recent versions available. You can watch the gentoo mirrors to see what the date of the latest portage archive is under the snapshots directory to see how current these CD's will be. After installing you can still download and install your own security updates and package releases. If however you see a new package that is just too large to download or you are looking for the convenience of having up to date Gentoo packages CD's, then you always have the option of obtaining an updated portage tree of Gentoo Essentials. If you are installing multiple machines then this may also be the trick to quickly and easily update multiple PC's. The package selection list is loosly based on the types of packages you would find in a popular distribution such as Mandrake and will meed the needs of most Linux desktop and server configurations. However, you are never limited to just installing these packages and can always download and install additional packages as your needs change. With over 6GB of packages on the mirrors there are many to choose from. We are also always looking at new packages to add to Gentoo Essentials so email us with your suggestions and we'll see if we can fit them on the CD's. What You Need To install Gentoo you will need an installation CD (available separately as Gentoo Linux 1.4rc? Basic x86) to get a basic system up and running. >From there you would install the applications you desire from the Gentoo Essentials CD's by following the step by step instructions found on CD's. Since these programs are updated frequently by the folks of Gentoo the actual package list may vary somewhat from build to build but basically this CD set will contain the latest stable version of each of these packages whenever possible ----------------------------------- > Besides, I know I need a whack of X11R6*src files(for > starters) and didn't see them listed in the edmunds > gentoo-package-list.
