Gentoo developers will be there; it will be even bigger than last year. We'll be showing off some nifty devices running Gentoo, and we'll be giving out installation media. Whether you're a developer, user, or simply curious, be sure and stop by booth #52. See you there! |

Not that I know of. But every year we bring a variety of boxes, everything from laptops to desktops to weird embedded things. I posted a picture and writeup on our awesome toys from last year's show. |

Oh, OK, so primarily personal stuff people have put Gentoo on and not commercial products sold with Gentoo or with the primary function provided by Gentoo? _________________ Quis separabit? Quo animo? |

We've got some of the Google Cr-48 laptops on display; ChromeOS is based on Gentoo. Everyone is pleasantly surprised to find out Google chose Gentoo for their stuff. There's also a Nail Kit (embedded ARM) and some kinda mini MIPS hardware firewall/VPN/crypto box. Also our own x64 laptops are displayed to show the neat things goin' on in the latest Fluxbox/KDE/Xfce environments. |

I am more surprised that people are surprised that Google choosed Gentoo Linux for their ChromeOS when there couldn't be a better metadistro to create such a customized environment. Ignorance is a bliss. Gentoo is on the GO! |

I was wondering about dual booting Android and Gentoo on mobile devices. That will be popular.
I heard people did this with Debian. _________________ My blog |
