Ahh, that's what I was thinking -- 'cause I've heard it runs on SPARC.  Can 
anyone else out there attest to things working on a 64-bit platform and/or in 
64-bit mode?

Absolutely; I still have to finish up the "paperwork" to complete the becoming 
a dev/maintainer, and then stuff will get into portage, and I'll make sure the 
doc people make that change; i also plan on writing up Gentoo-specific GNUstep 
help for new folk.

I really want to commit stuff to portage that at least works on 64-bit 
platforms, 32-bit function or 64, so if anyone else can chime in, we'll have 
one more distro we run on. :-)

Thanks to all,
