should i upgrade to gentoo 2005.0?


im running 2004.3 and i was wondering if it is worth it to go to 2005.0 i usually update packages every other day. is there anything that different in 2005.0?

Hello.

If you run a

emerge --sync or emerge-webrsync (if you can't run emerge --sync)

then run ... emerge world

It will update you equal to 2005.0 anyway. So there's no real need to reinstall because of it

you should update your profile also- make a symlink.
then you will have 2005.
