1 I'd love to get that working myself. I have a Ross SparcPlug, running Debian
2 right now. My priority is to get what you have already put together to work
3 on my machine :). That being said, there isn't much reason Gentoo couldn't work
4 on the Sparc, and I'd be glad to help with it. The sticking point is that as of now
5 (afaik) there is no GRUB for sparc. We'd have to use SILO. Not a big deal.

7 Yeah, everyone has an idea, but y'all are doing the work :) I do have a thought
8 though. I got Debian Hurd running a couple of weeks ago, and it has come a long
9 way. With the next iso bundle (Hurd-E1), I really think there could be a
10 foundation for the first non-debian hurd release. Gentoo would be perfect.
11 Especially if the base system only included FSF software. That's another
12 thing I'd be interested in playing with.
