gentoo request

[Kyle]

Well, there's masked, and i figured that out, but GNOME, when I tried
to install it, was hard masked, I guess meaning that there was no way
to unmask it. Something I read indicated that it was hard masked by the
package maintainers, possibly because of some sort of conflict or bug,
but this was roughly 3 months after the release, so I'm not sure why it
was still hard masked.

In any case, it's really good to see the geekier side of Linux getting
a bit of attention, and I may give Gentoo another try, either in a VM,
on an old laptop I have, or on an ARM board if it works on those. I did
see something recently that indicated that it may work on some of them,
so it would be really nice to experiment with it on the boards I've
purchased.
