    Gentoo 1.2 was released on June 10. This is one of the top 10 Linux distributions, and one of the few Linux distributions that generates any excitement anymore. Does Slashdot care at all about being current? My understanding is that this is a Linux website (I have come to this understanding from reading postings about minor kernel patches etc.). Perhaps it would be well to keep up on Linux news.

      I don't care about the karma, but I must protest--why was it a troll? Does the moderator of this post deny that Gentoo 1.2 was released a week ago?

      Gentoo is extremely important in the Linux community, and Slashdot is supposedly the most important Linux website. Why does it then take a week for an announcement of a major release of Gentoo to get here?

    How in the world did you get modded down, especially twice? That's just wrong, and I'm willing to lay my karma on the line for it.

    Will some moderator please mod back up the above two, especially the second one, there's no possible justification for their modding down. Really, that's just wrong.
