Gentoo 2005.0: A Live CD And [No] Graphical Installer

Posted by timothy on from the are-those-things-even-legal dept.

Sunsetbeach writes "zdnet.co.uk reports in this article that 'The next version of Gentoo, 2005.0, will also include a graphical installer that will allow users to automatically install the same set-up of Gentoo on multiple machines, according to Gianelloni.' " The article distinguishes the upcoming live disk from the (available) Gentoo Live CD; the new one will contain a fully functioning system ala Knoppix. Update: 11/30 23:09 GMT by M : Gentoo now has a clarification posted; the next Gentoo release will not have a graphical installer, although it is planned for the future.

    I think what a lot of moderators do is mod topics "Redundant" or "Offtopic" simply because they disagree with the poster's point of view, but don't want to be seen that way in metamoderation. I always find it funny how one post can spawn a completely unrelated thread of discussion, and about five levels deep, a comment that is related to the new discussion gets moderated "Offtopic". Really now, the discussion was "Offtopic" long before that. Mods, if a discussion gets off-topic, moderate the post that started the discussion "Offtopic" and moderate all subsequent replies according to the new discussion at hand. Is this really that hard to understand?

    And please, if there are two redundant posts, the post that occurs first should never be moderated "Redundant".
