Hello, Gentoo. |

I'm just saying hello to confirm I'm still here. |

For many months now, Gentoo has simply worked for me, without problems. |
| 6 |
I sync my system several times a week, and emerge just works. |

The last bit of excitement I had was in early 2015 when I was trying to |
| 9 |
sort out the mess in my xfce4 system after gnome-3 had been made stable. |
| 10 |
In the end, I gave up and reinstalled Gentoo, which this time took me |
| 11 |
only a week. |

Admittedly, there's very little which is cutting edge on my system - the |
| 14 |
box is 6½ years old, it boots with lilo on an old fashioned BIOS, my |
| 15 |
filesystems are ext3 (or in one case, ext2) on spinning rust. The only |
| 16 |
remotely adventurous things I've got are RAID-1 (via the kernel) and |
| 17 |
lvm2. |

So a big thanks to all the developers who've brought about this happy |
| 20 |
state of affairs! |
