If you keep up to date with 1.4, it is most likely *more* up to date than the 2004.0.
In effect gentoo is an install once and reconfigure and update on the fly as necessary, and you are always up to date as long as you keep emerging on a regular basis. Look at 2004.n as a snapshot for a basic installation. My oldest system has moved from a gentoo-1.1b (I think) with gcc2.95 as a gnome desktop to gcc3.2.3 as a gateway/web/mail server with the latest x86, all without going offline more than briefly by just unmerging/emerging. Wipe your system to test the install by all means, but at the end of the day, you are unlikely to get anything new once the system is in the user ready state.
