Gentoo 2008.0 Released

An anonymous reader notes that the Gentoo 2008.0 final release is available. From the announcement: "Code-named 'It's got what plants crave,' this release contains numerous new features including an updated installer, improved hardware support, a complete rework of profiles, and a move to Xfce instead of GNOME on the LiveCD. LiveDVDs are not available for x86 or amd64, although they may become available in the future. The 2008.0 release also includes updated versions of many packages already available in your ebuild tree."

Awesome news...

... can we expect all kinds of n00bs flooding the forums?

Typical douchebaggery from a typical Gentoo user:
"I use Gentoo. Look at my penis."

It's got what plants crave.

I've looked all over, but I can't find the electrolytes!

Fucking n00bs. Change firefox memory module to remove on the fly memory allocation and compile with -XilYaBGvf option, and link the so with the rest using secondary passive attribution.

One advice to n00bs using Gentoo - RTFM.

>I found it really nice, and absolutely LOVED the bash-script based package management.

Hey, that sounds kinda cool. Maybe Gentoo should consider this idea instead of .ebuild files.

that's because they were destroyed in the process of mutilating your thirst.

I love gentoo, but damn that's accurate. Makes me wonder whether you're an embittered novice or a seasoned guru.

I was wondering if he was an embittered guru or a seasoned novice, myself. That seems to be the way they differentiate users.
