[ale] Gentoo?

[Brian B.]

I had it running in my laptop. It's a pain in the ***
to install but I think it's worth it. If you're
familiar with *bsd's ports and package installation,
you would love it (ie. doing 'emerge foo' would
download the 'foo' source, configure, compile and
install it for you). I also like its minimalist
installation. I'm not sure how big my installtion was
but I think it was < 300M. 

If you have lots of patience and a day to wait for it
to compile. Give it a try. Keep in mind that it's
still pretty new so some stuff may not work well.
Also, let me know if you're installing it in a laptop.
The pcmcia problem took me some time to figure it out.
