The first beta of Gentoo Linux 2008.0 has been released. "You can help make 2008.0 amazing! Test out this beta and report any functionality issues you encounter. Since this is the first beta, we're looking only for bugs in functionality, not bugs in appearance such as desktop backgrounds or other artwork. We expect to release a second beta once your testing has helped us fix problems with this first beta. A migration to RPM was carefully considered again for this release, but in the end we decided to wait for the few remaining RPM-using distributions to migrate to the superior packaging format of ebuilds."

Just checked the DistroWatch page for Gentoo. It says that the gcc version is 3.4.6 in both Gentoo stable and unstable. That seems a bit old, since even Debian stable (that was released a year ago) has gcc version 4.1.1. Maybe the DistroWatch page is not quite up-to-date?
