Gentoo 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."

Hi:

I have a Gentoo 2007.0 box installed at home and I like a lot this distro.

Anyway, is there some URL where I can find information about what features will this release include?

Gentoo's releases, generally speaking, are only updated versions of the installation methods and profiles. If you already have Gentoo installed, then you already have the latest things Gentoo can offer. "Gentoo 2008" won't bring nothing new to you.
