C'mon. You know it's a good idea. It'll be a place to keep the O/T linux stuff (Ubuntu is for n00bz! Gentoo is for geeks! Slack is for Pat, only!) as well as the various wine issues and general user-to-user support related to maintaining Indigo.
Besides, you KNOW you'll eventually cross-compile a native version. So why wait?

I started at school with IBM AIX many years ago, then jumped off slackware 3.0 back in 95, after TONS of years in Debian i moved over Gentoo that's extremely cool if you've a LOT of time.
Nowadays i run Ubuntu (Gnome) for desktop stuff and Archlinux (with FluxBox) and i found this combination really nice!
I agree about the linux subforum, many of us are working on it ! (and that would be a nice pull over Ono to make us an Indigo linux native version
)

I currently run gentoo (desktop) and debian (notebook).
Last week I deleted the root partition .
It just took 3 day to get a new 64bit gentoo back (without config files backup)
So: Please make at least an /etc backup: I will do too. Perhaps tomorrow, or next friday, or ...
What I really wanted to say: Debian on my notebook, because gentoo takes to long to compile and ubuntu uses too much memory (I tried).
I think it is just the way of configuring your system. Gentoo is much more easy, if you (half) know what you are doing. If it does not work it is your own fault .
