Gentoo Linux is a versatile and fast Linux
distribution for x86, PowerPC, Sparc, and Sparc64
that’s geared towards Linux power users. Unlike
other distros, it has an advanced package
management system called Portage. Portage is a
true ports system in the tradition of BSD ports,
but is Python-based and sports a number of
advanced features including dependencies,
fine-grained package management, "fake"
(OpenBSD-style) installs, path sandboxing, safe
unmerging, system profiles, virtual packages,
config file management, and more.

Changes: This release adds many new "Portage" features, bugfixes, and code
cleanups on the way to 1.4_final. An updated Live-CD and stages for
the Sparc, PPC, and x86 platforms are all available for this release
candidate.

PostgreSQL is a robust relational database system with more than 20 years of active development that runs on all major operating systems. It is fully ACID compliant, and has full support for foreign keys, joins, views, triggers, and stored procedures (in multiple languages). It includes most SQL92 and SQL99 data types, including INTEGER, NUMERIC, BOOLEAN, CHAR, VARCHAR, DATE, INTERVAL, and TIMESTAMP. It also supports storage of binary large objects, including pictures, sounds, or video. It has native programming interfaces for C/C++, Java, .Net, Perl, Python, Ruby, Tcl, and ODBC, among others, and exceptional documentation.

Changes: This release addresses several overrun and memory leak issues that were found in recent weeks, so it is highly recommended that those running the 7.3.1 branch upgrade at their earliest convenience. This release is backwards compatible with the previous v7.3.x releases, and does not require a dump/restore to upgrade.
