I was surfing the web for reviews as I was thinking of trying out the LiveCD AMD64 version (still experimental), and came up to this review. Though it is not AMD64 based review, it still makes it great article on 2006.0 LiveCD.

It's not that often that a new version of Gentoo is released; usually about twice a year. Because there is plenty of time before each release, a new version brings on many, many updates. The 2006.0 version was just released, and I couldn't wait to take a look at what was new.

Some of the major package updates are KDE, GNOME, GCC and of course, the kernel. Some of the packages could be considered to be out of date, but the newer versions are primarily still in BETA. The kernel is the absolute latest version, though. The one new feature that I am most happy about though, is the fact that there is now a LiveCD version of the distro. This means that just by putting the CD in your drive, you can boot into a fully operational version of Gentoo, using the GNOME desktop.
