If you have a network to run the install off the net, the install is no
different, if not easier than the standard 2.4.  Not only do you get a 2.6
kernel, but one thats optimized for performance on gentoo!  Keep in mind the
install guide has instructions for both bootstrapping, and the liveCD
method, and instructions for both 2.4, and 2.6 kernels.  If the option is
there, why not?  Once you try it, you'll realize why the people that use it
are so fanatical about it.

new installs is it a release) will probably be based on 2.6. Many of us have
been running the development kernels since 2.5.x days, and in this case the
pioneers didn't get the arrows.
