Especially considering how they are packaging this release:
>From http://store.gentoo.org/product_info.php?cPath=2&products_id=49 "For a faster install and less dependence on an Internet connection, choose one of the 2-CD builds. The second CD includes pre-built binary packages to get you up and running quickly. The "i686" set will run on any system that is Pentium 2-compatible, which includes most systems currently being used. The "Pentium III" set will run on any machine that is Pentium 3- compatible. If you have a Pentium 4 or modern Celeron CPU, then choose the "Pentium 4" build." Brian -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
