Hi,

We plan to eval Gentoo.  We await 2008 final.  The comment is, Gentoo
home page gives no clue about status.  Convincing people that Gentoo is
"alive" becomes tricky because the final is months late and little
motion on the home page.  That's about all most people inspect.

So bottom line, impressions of Gentoo are going south even before we
test.

Some sort of "progress bar" or chart showing bugs squashed and new
reported, maybe??  At least some kind of "ticker" showing "expected
final release date"?  Counting lines of code or something?

Personally I don't care when final ships - just knowing "present
expectations" or status with an easy home page glance is all I ask.

Thanks.
There is no need to wait for any release. You can use what ever environment you want e.g. any live distro, running linux,... to install gentoo. On gentoo there aren't release steps in the way other distros do. So go ahead, boot a livecd get the appropriate stage3 tarball and portage tarball and begin to love gentoo. If you are waiting for the new release of the installer, then I would recommend you to do it better the normal gentoo way as descripted in the handbook <http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-quickinstall.xml>.

cheers
