Description Sanity In Anarchy 2002-11-27 10:37:19 UTC 
Right now, I only see Gentoo Linux.  Cygwin seems extremely slow for
me, so I wondered if it would be possible to port Gentoo to it.  After
some thought, it seems that Portage is platform-independent (or could
be made that way) and all that's needed is somebody to manage it.
Also, I was going to try HURD at some point, but it has even less
software than Mac!  I certainly don't expect any binary distros (like
RedHat, Debian, Etc.) to port, but it would probably be a lot easier
to port a source-based distro, especially since so many programs say
that they should compile and run on "any *nix".

So how about it?  Anyone for multi-platform Gentoo?

just FYI...Debian has a hurd version.
