No, thank you - it's the users that make it worthwhile.

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 :twisted:

Everyone who i've persuaded or converted really enjoy gentoo.
Keep up with the good documentation because it really makes a difference!

Great job guys and gals!

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

I also want to take some time to thank all of you developers who make our (users) life simple. So thank you once again.

Cheers to all of you,

Mats

do you have to reinstall the new version or would it upgrade through emerging?

zhenlin · Veteran Joined: 09 Nov 2002 Posts: 1361

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!

To all the developers out there: Congrats! To somehow pay back the debt I have due to your great efforts, you all have a place to stay whenever you're in Holland. How do you like your breakfast?

Congrats to all the Developers for another great release of gentoo. I have only been using gentoo for about 2 months and I already love it more so than any distro I have ever used. Thanks guys
