these are only the versions of the live CD. Your actual Gentoo install has no version number because its always the latest. So regardless if you used 2004.0 or 2004.3 to install - you ultimately have the same version after you've completely installed.

We've got really great developers working on the project and even though there is no GUI way of putting linux on your iPod, its in the works. Its still simple to any/.er to do without a GUI and I suggest checking it out.
We're still working on getting the 2.6 kernel working with the iPod. We've only sucessfully got 2.6 working once (I think) and it sounded great! 2.4 doesnt sound as good but it works flawlessly.
Check out the forums if you have any questions or want to help out. We're always looking for new developers. We've also got #ipodlinux on irc.freenode.net
Have you tried firefox? They've got a little extension called "adblock" that basically puts that all into a nice little interface for you. I've just added http://*.doubleclick.* and I see none of their crap.
Even though we all hate adds, they still pay for all our favorite free websites, like Pharmboy pointed out with/.
I tend to know what I will and wont use. I've also seen what some programs compile in that would obviously never been used. That all adds up.
So its up to the user to the user to make their Gentoo fast. If you know what your doing - its hard to beat gentoo's speed.
Yea thats how I feel too. Use emerge -UDav world and you see _exactly_ what is being emerged. Also - if you do it every day, you rarely go over 10 minutes in compiling.
You're contradicting yourself there. Gentoo is for "self customisation" which means gentoo users compile a hell of a lot less than what gets put into the binaries. Take KDE for example. With gentoo, you only need to spend about 15 - 20 minutes compiling if you only want the KDE base which is what a lot of people want. It also runs faster as a result.
Gentoo is not slower than SuSE "from a design point of view" because Gentoo runs less. You compile less into the kernel and you compile less into all the programs. It seems you missed the point that you brought up yourself.
Less == Faster.
How much compiling could you be doing? I run gentoo as well and after the initial install-all-of-my-programs, I complile maybe once a week for about 5 minutes to update my world. And the time you spend compiling gets made up in Gentoo's speed.
Also what do you mean by "Wouldn't most computers be too busy compiling to actually be able to slashdot anything?" The new gentoo version only applies to people that dont have gentoo yet. People that already have gentoo are constantly up-to-date.
How do products like Linspire with their "pay for package warehouses" survive? There are so many distro's out there that enable you to download from their package databases for free and as often as you want. Do I even have to mention Gentoo?
What is the Fedora Core made up of? I'm a Gentoo user and I'm trying to understand what is involved in other distro's and what would make it not work with Gnome.
Does anyone know if the referb iPod you get when you send it in to apple is a new case (the white plastic thing) or is it your same old scratched up one when you get it back?
Also my buttons are all crapped up as well - do you think they'll fix all that stuff if I send it in?
I have a feeling this will be implemented into standard Linux use real fast. Having this technology for every platform will really help portability of hardware I think too. This is going to be another one of those things that Windows implements but does it horribly unstable so no one can really use it.
Basically Microsoft can find no other way so combate open source effect on its revenues other than to become open source themselves. This is a great day indeed! Hopefully this force to open source will happen to all major programing companies. It just goes to show that you can be open source and still make money. In this case, its the _ONLY_ way Microsoft could make money (in this specific feild... I think it was embeded OSs).
Hopefully they will sell off some of their stuff and get money for a smaller place until they can gain more revenue. Until then... I'll sort their stuff.

Yea i've got some stuff like that from someone else but it made it so the search features on www.suprnova.org not work.

First: how often do you compile KDE? The automatic cron job stuff only happens after you get your computer set up and after KDE's already been emerged
Also, you dont have to install everything in KDE with gentoo. Take a look at this: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=184235

try putting emerge -uD world in a cron job for every night...? That way you could do it every day and it would take no time.

If this happens starbucks and borders will be exactly the same store... why dont they just merge?
aah - thats what I was asking in my post right above yours.
What does this company do and if there "different hardware" deffence is so good, why'd they get attacked?

Does this mean that if Java gets their speed up, universal platform games are the future?
Thats a very good point. They are aiming at a very small percentage of potential customers... what they need is some government funding.
