 Posted: Wed Aug 06, 2003 10:24 am Post subject: Gentoo 1.4_RCx and Gentoo 1.4 |
 |
|
I downloaded the live CD for Sparc about 3 weeks ago and installed it on an Ultra 10 at work. System works great, and I'm really impressed with Gentoo!
I see today that 1.4 final has been released (not for Sparc yet, though) and that 1.4_rc4, dated 02Aug03, is on the mirrors.
Question: When 1.4 final _is_ released for Sparc, and I update my Gentoo install, will there be any difference between my install and a fresh install with 1.4 final (functionality-wise) ?
Thanks. |

Version numbers are only relevant for LiveCD's with Gentoo.
Do a
$ emerge -u world
And you are up-to-date. No need to reinstall or something like that... people really have to learn this because this questions comes up alot  |

That is one of the really nice things with Gentoo. Never need to download a new image

Anyway, it is nice to have a 2CD set with all the packages pre-compiled (or not) for those times you feel like having to do a fast, "netless" install.... (yes, computers not connected to the internet still exist...  ) 
Cheers! |
