Wow...it was 3 years old when I started using it...and back then, I thought it was brand new. Oh, well, in commemoration, we should post that thread from several years back which explained that Gentoo's death was imminent...what a hoot. |

Congratulations from one that used gentoo to switch completely over to Linux some years ago
Great artwork for the Gentoo Linux 10.0 Live DVD. _________________ GNU/Linux user #383872 |

Happy birthday, beautiful artwork. @Ben: mind making a 1400x1050 version, or even better, releasing the source files? |

I downloaded the combo, preview DVD about a week ago
(which worked flawlessly, thank you)
expecting it to have an installer. It didn't!
Does this live DVD include an installer? |

Yeah, the source files would be nice to have. I would like to try my muscles at making a bootsplash from the wallpaper. I you can't release the source files, I would like to have 1280x1024 one.
Anyway, Happy anniversary for the best linux distro out there and me, I turned 25 the same day. |

Huge thanks to all developers and maintainers past and present (and future!) for all the hard work that they've put into helping Gentoo evolve. Really, really appreciate it.
Added bonus is that I've just built myself a new PC (first time at having a go at building from scratch) and am going with a nice new 10.0 profile*
LiveDVD is great and I like the artwork, very funky

Way off-topic, and not very interesting either, but some discussion here _________________ "Science is what we understand well enough to explain to a computer. Art is everything else we do." - Donald Knuth |
