Gentoo 2008.0 Released

It seems Gentoo has finally released the 2008.0, the first release since 2007.0 which was released early in 2007. This is huge, there have been many changes in packages and such in the portage tree that an initial install took a lot longer then needed to have an up-to-date system. Along with just the updated stage's, we are also seeing a lot of bug fixes and enhancements. The profile management has changed to help reduce headaches, and the livecd will be switching from gnome to XFCE to further reduce space and headaches with the livecd.

Now I get to go around and migrate my profiles over to the new release, and then I am working on a new box to test this install out on, should be good times

You can Discuss the release or just go ahead and Get Gentoo!
