A good way to be kept informed of new software releases is by mailing list. For vanilla-sources, use [EMAIL PROTECTED] Information (including how to subscribe) at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htm For gentoo-sources, use [EMAIL PROTECTED] Information (including how to subscribe) at http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/lists.xml By the way I recommend you to subscribe to the announce lists of all software that matters to you. For example, gentoo-announce (which carries important notices such as glsa notices and new Gentoo releases), gcc-announce, etc. -- Software is like sex: it is better when it is free - Linus Torvalds
