I already have > gentoo-3stages-x86-1.4_rc4.iso. The feature which separates Gentoo from the rest is that it is a source distribution, this means that apart from the little boot disk you need to start the exercise rolling you don't really need disks full of binary files you are never going to install. By the time I got the disk you mention above, so many of the packages had been updated that I felt annoyed with myself that I had downloaded both an out of date binary and then had to d/l the sources to all the new versions. I'm thinking here particularly of the KDE stuff. That said, it might well be worth your while to carry the gentoo-1.4 install once it achieves RELEASE status. There are indications that that will happen fairly soon. What folks also might well be interested in is disks of up to date source code.
I have also downloaded the livecd-kde-distcc-06-03-2003.iso and gentoo-ppc-1.4_rc7-kde.iso files, the former for the upcoming Installfest, but we might well go the Knoppix way instead, and the latter because I'm simply curious to see a version of Linux running applications alongside Apple's OS X ones. Note that both of these CDs are distinctly experimental. p.s. Many folk on the list will probably be interested to know how well that instance of Koha you implemented for the school has worked out? -- C. S.
