Linux Counter is but one of several projects trying to do that. It is perhaps the more well known and more public. |

According to Wikipedia there is also another big project lead by Fedora called Smolt, which is also available in Gentoo. |

Now, I don't now if the Gentoo folks patched Smolt to report to Gentoo infrastructure instead of Fedora infrastructure (probably a good thing to do). |

And I haven't tried it myself (yet) - though I do have LinuxCounter listings for most of my systems (not automatically updated). |
