Hi everyone,
Gentoo Linux 1.0 has been released! The 1.0 release features the
following nifty new things:
Portage 1.8.9:
10-20x speed improvement in dependency calculations
New more flexible USE system
Powerful new dynamic world profiles supporting package "pinning"
emerge world == "emerge system" the way *you* want it.
Tons of bug fixes
Lots of new features, tweaks and refinements
Core system updates
glibc 2.2.5
new shadow/pam packages
new more flexible autoconf packages
updates to many core packages, including SGI XFS-related tools
New kernel:
"2.4.19": 2.4.19-pre2-ac4-XFS
Includes up-to-the-minute XFS support,
O(1) scheduler,
Rik van Riel's reverse-mapping patch,
Andre Hedrick's IDE updates,
Andrew Morton's disk IO fixes,
and the usual Alan Cox goodness

Note that we currently have an i686+ "gentoo linux system in a tarball"
