Gentoo, known in the Linux-o-sphere for its customizability has released its 2007 edition. Named ‘Secret Sauce’, the release was delayed awaiting security updates to core packages. The release contains the latest editions of GNOME and KDE as well as a completely rewritten installer.
The Gentoo Release Engineering project is pleased to announce the much-delayed release of Gentoo Linux 2007.0, code named “Secret Sauce”. This release met with several delays due to an abnormally high number of security vulnerabilities in large packages which had to be rebuilt using the newer, secure versions of the packages. There was also a complete resnapshot done about half-way through the release period due to the release taking so long and the packages becoming stale.
