Just wanted to pass my congratulations to all the developers for all their hard work on gentoo 1.4 it is a *great* release. Take a break, drink some beers, and sit back and watch the servers get overloaded. _________________ True trade is honest, but not merciful.

Yes, thank you thank you!
I'm re-installing with 1.4 final right now... partially for fun, and partially to move to a new hard drive |

I wholeheartedly second the congratulations!!! Great job avenj on getting things moving on this release and getting it out the door!! You guys have really done some impressive things and I've been amazed at how much the Gentoo project has grown since 1.2 came out.
I think this release will really open a lot more doors for Gentoo. As an example, I think we're going to be using Gentoo 1.4 for the networking lab at my university now that it'll be so fast and easy to get machines up and running. The big problem before that was the compilation time required for X. Now with the GRP CDs and distcc, that shouldn't be a problem at all anymore.
I'll drink a beer in celebration tonight I'm sure all of the developers will be glad to hear the end of the whining from all us users about this release...at least until we hear what's planned for 1.5+....
I'm eagerly looking forward to hearing what new features are planned in Portage, etc now that 1.4 is out the door.
Anyway - good job to everyone. I've been a Gentoo user since 1.0rc6 and this looks like the best release yet. I think the future holds great things for Gentoo and I hope to be a part of it all |

It should upgrade through world. 1.4 ISO would be nice to have in case I ever have to reinstall or repair...
As for me, NO MORE FEATURE FREEZE! |

my thanks for listening to the users and doing what they wanted most, a non-net install. This is going to be great for converting windows/modem friends i know
ive yet to install 1.4*not even downloaded it yet* but im going it on my desktop this weekend, my laptop is still running 1.4rc4 stong and besides is emerged all the latest packages so my laptop is up todate
but thank you again, gentoo has really given me an interest in linux _________________ Some people go to counselling,
