Gentoo Linux [LWN.net]

The Gentoo Weekly Newsletter for the week of June 23, 2003 is out. Topics this week include: Where is Gentoo Linux 1.4?, The Meta Package project, Two additional new source mirrors for North America, GWN looking for additional translators, and more.

Several people have pointed out that Gentoo Linux should be moved to a more prominent place in the LWN Distributions List. In fact it was slated to move to the 'Also Well-Known' category, but after seeing this press release from UltraDNS, we decided to move Gentoo up to 'Leading Distributions'. (The press release ranks Gentoo as "the fourth largest open source Linux distribution", though the source for that statement is not given.)
