> Gentoo-ppc64 is the other side of the ppc equation, it is a 64 bit |
| 21 |

| 22 |
> distribution to offer a 64 bit top to bottom solution which is not a |
| 23 |
> toy environment. This is a significant and exciting step as there is |
| 24 |
> interest in cluster computing circles, users of java, and more |
| 25 |
> generally those who have needs of large address spaces. It's fairly |
| 26 |
