This is a really good idea. It's great to see the positive feedback. Also, its really good to see the news updated regularly.

So it starts a forum thread from the person who posted the news? That's good.
I think it should have its own subforum personally, or at least a [news] prepend in the topic title.

Done, thanks for the suggestion!

I think this is a great idea. I really hope Gentoo lasts and does not go down in history as a flash-in-the-pan distro...

Gentoo 1.0 was released nearly 6 years ago. That doesn't really fit my definition of a flash-in-a-pan distro.

I quite like the idea of a separate news (sub)forum, and making it possible for users to reply to topics but not create new ones would be easy, too.

Just wanted to stop by and express how happy I am to see some of this activity going on. Here is to hoping Gentoo sticks around for a long time. Thanks to everyone involved who is "making things happen"(tm).

This is truely great news

I even begun considering abandon ship

I'm cool...

The website all of a sudden seemed completely different. It matters to complain, obviously. You, coders!!

Salute!

Excellent idea and implementation, Donnie! There have been several news items in the past that I thought warranted discussion in the community. Now there's a direct link between the issue on the front page, and a thread in this forum. I really like how actively involved users are getting, and hope things will stay on this upward trajectory.

Finally a simple thing that really increases the cooperation in the general Gentoo user family!

That said I'm looking forward to installing back Gentoo when 2008.0 is out

There a lot of people out there that are waiting for that, because the new 2008.0 will have the kernel 2.6.24 out of the box.

Hopefully will have 2.6.24, though it runs fine here...test it and report any failures to the kernel team.

" How to roll your own Linux distro."

and what about ltsp-5?

We're having an LTSP hackfest next weekend, actually.

nice

is it even possible to get reiser4-support into the next livecd ?
given its current state is pretty stable, (not so much reports of data corruptions anymore / even if any

) and reiser4progs are in the portage-tree why not also reiser4
and while we're at it reiser4-sources ?

since gentoo is all about choice, speed, individuality, etc etc, that would be really great

(I'm sure much other users [and devs] would appreciate it)

<-- sorry if that was already discussed somewhere else, but there's no corresponding news-post (I haven't seen any)

The post would be "Get involved: Suggest features for the 2008.0 release" and it tells you where to go.
