Is Gentoo 2006.0 going to be released anytime soon? I want to install Gentoo
on my home computer but I'm too lazy to insall 2005.1.r1 and upgrade all
packages so I'm waiting for 2006.0.

Gentoo version numbers are not really very significant. Using the documented 
install instructions, you will install all the latest applications updated 
when you sync your portage tree.

Very true, but what is useful is the GRP packages that are released with
every release point, enabling an up to date precompiled gentoo with kde
and/or gnome [1] to be up and running within an hour or two. I know
precompiled binaries are not for everyone, but they can be very useful.

 
[1] and/or XFCE? cannot recall off the top of my head.

Exactly, what I don't want is to Install 2005.1-r1 stage3 and then have to
update the stage3 it takes too much time to compile the updated version of
glib and gcc.

I also like to have GRP packages for Gnome and so, my Home Internet
conection is not too fast so I prefer to update the less packages I can.

Ehm... So, what's the purpose of running Gentoo in your case?

That I just love it, I use have it on my work laptop and servers, I try
Ubuntu at home since is faster to download and Install binary packages but
the whole ubuntu/debian concept freaks me out at the exact second I try to
compile a program and have to apt-get every single dependecy, I tired of
Fedora/Redhat/Centos a long ago,, so Gentoo...

Gentoo has many advantages, the whole "compile from source" of course
is the main stream, but add to it: control over the system,
dependencies and software by using emerge, either with GRP or
downloading source elsewhere, scripts for updating, config file
protection, a extense (the best) documentation, glsa check and fix,
special gentoo patches for a lot of apps, the feeling that you're not
alone (this list ilustrates it), and so much more, I am pretty sure
there are dozens more, but I got tired...

Thx Sasha, I was looking for that Release Schedule all over gentoo site but
couldn't find it.

About the updates, it's easy,, I left my computer all night downloading and
installing updates,, ;-) when I have one or two, not when I have to update
the whole distribution, that's why I want to start as updated as I can.. ;-)

Regards.

The answer to your question can be found here: 
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/releng/index.xml

Release Roadmap for 2006

Note: These are estimated dates. Actual release dates may vary.
Date       Version
Feb 2006   2006.0

Running gentoo without internet (or slow internet) is simple: just sync 
and fetch distfiles on your laptop anywhere else (i.e. at your office) and 
take them home to your desktop.

Sascha.
