"Over the past few days, I discovered that the Gentoo Foundation's charter is in the process of being revoked by the state of New Mexico, apparently due to regular paperwork not being filed by the trustees. What this means is that the Gentoo Foundation is currently hanging for its life by a string, and at any day could cease to exist as an entity. That is the very bad news. The good news is that I was able to talk to Grant Goodyear (trustee) this morning on the phone, and I have confirmed that Grant had received my email about the revocation issue that I sent 2 days ago and that he will be resolving this critical issue in the next couple of days by filing the appropriate paperwork with the state of New Mexico, and this paperwork will also remove me as President of the Foundation."

What turned me on to Gentoo was that it seems to be one of the first distro's out there to run on new hardware, probably because of it's installation procedure. Or maybe it is because of the kind of people that run Gentoo.
I started with Gentoox on the Xbox. Then I installed it on my fileserver, then on my main desktop. Just last night I installed it on my 2-day-old PS3.
I think it was the first Linux distro to run on the new Intel Macs as well.

I, too hope everything goes well.
I'm not a Gentoo user myself, but I believe most Linux users have to admit that many nice stuff comes from Gentoo community, in terms of patches and documentation to various things that can easily be applied to most distributions out there.
