What's new in Gentoox Home 7.0
Jan 26, 2009
- Fully synchronised software (both with magic and portage as of a few days ago).
- Ditched RAR file format in favour of tbz2 (file sizes are slightly bigger, but it's free!).
- Nifty installer progress bar.
- Updated Busybox in all initrds.
- Ditched KDE, only XFCE is available now (KDE was way too bloated).
- Upgraded to latest 2.4 series kernel.
- Switched Home edition to use -Os due to CPU's tiny cache (Pro still uses -O2 as this will give better number-crunching performance)
- Removed deprecated packages and replaced with modern equivalents (XF4VNC => X11VNC, GAIM => Pidgin).
- Loads of other tweaks...
