Now there's one less reason for your friends to switch to Gentoo! Get it here!" And darthcamaro writes "Hard to tell from the change log what's new ... but this story on internetnews.com notes new installation hardware support and WiFi."

    The article text is confusing. There are 2 "releases" at hand.

    1. Gentoo 2005.1 - a normal official release, updated packages and installation media but nothing mind-blowingly new.

    2. An experimental LiveCD which boots into a graphical environment and includes an early version of the upcoming Gentoo Linux Installer.

    The Installer "preview" is not included on the standard 2005.1 media.
