Is this why you claim the packages are so up-to-date--because you're

If this is the case, it's not a lot different to running
In its defense, I'd wager (and I don't use the thing) that Gentoos RC's
are more stable than a Mandrake Release!! Not that I have many problems
but the Mandrake releases need about 3 weeks more polish before release
almost EVERY time, and they never seem to get it. A pity really. If

Gentoo RC's are tied more to the installer (and possibly gcc) than a actual
list of packages, so once you've got it installed all you are running is
Gentoo. You can choose which versions of programs to use, or just use the

The other site (http://gentoo-stable.iq-computing.de/) will give you all of

no they are the stable packages, and you can also run unstable.
