This sea change could make it possible for a lot of us to now take 
Gentoo seriously as an alternative to mainstream binary distros.

"The latest issue of Gentoo Weekly Newsletter, as well as this earlier 
story on ZDNet provide some interesting information about the upcoming 
release of Gentoo Linux, scheduled for the first quarter of 2005. Among 
them, the users (and potential users) of the most popular source-based 
distribution will be pleased to learn that Gentoo will finally default 
to kernel 2.6 on all architectures, the Gentoo live CD will serve as a 
full desktop operating system (not just an installation CD), and it 
will, for the first time, include an automated graphical installer."
