That's just the version of baselayout (which is also in /etc/gentoo-release)
Code: | $ emerge -qp baselayout
[ebuild R ] sys-apps/baselayout-2.1 |

Hello and welcome, the only way to install Gentoo is by the handbook:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/index.xml
or

Follow the handbook.

You can't upgrade from a 32bit environment, you will have to start from scratch. Again follow the handbook to accomplish this. |

No, there is no docache, but you can increase the amount of memory in use by parsing aufs_mem=8g (this option is listed in livedvd's boot options) _________________ "Dear Enemy: may the Lord hate you and all your kind, may you be turned orange in hue, and may your head fall off at an awkward moment."
