Has Gentoo switched to xorg-x11, or will the isos include only xfree 4.3?

I know I can emerge whatever I want, I'm just curious.

I think xfree 4.3, xorg-x11 is still marked as testing.

Do any of the stages actually include an X-server ?

Packages CD include an X-server (for grp install).

Considering the beta version of the Desktop Configuration section of the Gentoo Handbook specifically covers X.org, I'd assume that the release in which that section is included will replace the Xfree packages with X.org packages.

Just my theory ;-)

Both? Gentoo is all about choice, I would think they would slap both of them on there. Not that it matters, GRP is for LUSERS! :)

You do know that people have done stage1 installs on 25MHz 486s, don't you? For something as powerful as a 266MHz, you have no excuse ;)

But in all seriousness, my last machine was a PII 300. I did a GRP install on that.
