would be nice if there was an alpha page like there is for all other popular
platforms.
may be sysV boot scripts instead of bsd style also ( as an option).

portage would not let me build packages ( testing gcc works no)

maybe some documenation telling users where to turn off that requirement.
( if there is it is hard to find may be a search engine on the site!)
as that is what I was looking for ( seemed to be something to do with
portage)

I do also read the ebuilds for some gentoo packages as to see what is being
patched and configured in cetain packages.
Am no dising gentoo it is fine on my x86 pc's but it just looked as alpha
was a one off port rc1.

I look forward to the day when there is easy instructions and documentation
for configuring portage and stage1 configuration.
as currently I alter what seems to make sense and leave what I don't
understand or can't read.

anyway best of luck
