We've come a long way from where we started. Six months ago, neither viridior or I had any idea of what we were getting ourselves into. Nevertheless, we survived, and in the meantime we've created our first truly usable Gentoo release.
If someone could boot it up and play with it and make sure the essentials work (emerge can build new packages, internet works, and so on) we'd be extremely grateful. We want someone to pick through it like the average Gentoo user might, so knowledge of Gentoo would be helpful. If Gentoo experience is lacking, that isn't a big deal. Simply trying to emerge (install) a package we haven't already installed or pre-built would be great!
So, whoever wants to try it out can get a copy of the latest release here. Since the latest is 0.0.3, you probably just want to go straight to 0.0.3's page. Pandora testers will want to select the plain 0.0.3 "base" variant, while BeagleBoard users might want to use the "base-beagle" variant. Be sure to read the "Install a Pre-built Image" page for installation instructions.
We're looking for feedback on your entire experience! Was the website easy to use? Where might we improve? How about the image itself? Are there any tweaks we should've included? Everything is still under heavy development, so it will be relatively easy to change things now rather than later.
Here's a big thanks to the testers who use precious time out of their day to test our images! We really appreciate it!
