An anonymous reader writes "From the latest Gentoo Weekly Newsletter: '(SCI) will be helping the Gentoo Linux development team to create a 64-bit version of Gentoo Linux for the AMD Opteron processor. SCI will initiate this relationship by providing the Gentoo Linux development team with a dual Opteron workstation as well as any other assistance required to officially support for the AMD Opteron platform. In cooperation with RackSaver, SCI will arrange for early access to future enterprise-class hardware. RackSaver has joined SCI in its efforts to support the continued development of Gentoo Linux into an enterprise-level operating system.'"

I really know nothing at all about Gentoo Linux. What makes it different from other distros, etc.
What I do know is that Gentoo is a damn fine name. It's simple, catchy and cool. Believe it or not this could have a large impact on the success of Gentoo, especially with all the other shittily named distros out there.
