I've been running gentoo 1.4 for quite a while. I installed using the 1.4rc1 tarballs and a 1.2 boot cd. What they are waiting on right now working out the quirks of their "reference platform," a binary distribution of gentoo that is know to be stable. As for java and mozilla plugins, the new flash plugin works great as long as you use the netscape flash ebuild for it. I built java from source a couple months ago and it works great, took 7 hours and 2gigs of disk space, but it works, even as a mozilla plugin. Of course this may be moot now because yesterday blackdown released their jdk compiled with gcc 3.2.1, so it should work perfectly with gcc 3.2 systems.
