Gentoo on the Hurd?
-------------------

There's recently been an effort to port Gentoo to Hurd.
I like this idea.
More distros should support the GNU/Hurd operating system.

The Hurd community is not that large, especially compared to HaikuOS and RedoxOS.
But hopefully as more distros adopt Hurd, it will become more popular.
And thus, we would have more support.

Gentoo/Hurd is still being worked on, but it has booted and portage works.
Gentoo has a large library of packages, so hopefully this means more programs can run on Hurd.
