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."

I wonder if there is even going to be a hardened profile. I'm a little upset that there seems to be no one working on hardened anymore. There are so many features in the 2.6.24 kernel that I can't take advantage of because a 2.6.24 hardened kernel has yet to be released and it is doubtful that anyone will create another pieworld overlay for gcc 4.3. All I really want from Gentoo are those two things.
