The Gentoo Linux Release Engineering team is proud to announce
the release of Gentoo Linux 2004.1. Please consult our mirror index
[1] for download locations and the Gentoo Linux Installation
Handbook [2] for detailed installation instructions. Support for
Gentoo Linux 2004.1 can be found through our user community by way
of the Gentoo Forums [3], IRC [4], and various community
mailing-lists [5]. Release notes for each architecture can be found
linked from the Gentoo Linux Release Engineering project page
[6].

Gentoo Linux 2004.1 highlights many bugfixes that enhance the
usability and quality of all the release components. Much work has
been done to improve the overall quality of the release, such as
providing GPG signatures for security and online listings of what
files are included in the installation stages, PackageCDs, and
LiveCDs for each architecture. Additionally, Catalyst v1.0.7 [7],
the Gentoo Linux release meta-tool, has undergone numerous
improvements that have solidified its codebase.

Pre-packaged Gentoo Linux CD sets as well as well as an easy to
use donation system are available through the Gentoo Linux store
[8].

For more information, please contact the Gentoo Linux Release
Engineering team at releng@gentoo.org. Thank you for
choosing Gentoo Linux!
