Gentoo+NetBSD/FreeBSD/OpenBSD - enough options?

Not sure why anyone would want to use a hybrid Gentoo/*BSD setup … but of course, it’s open source and who among us has ever met a BSD fan that could not use BSD for everything? So somebody has to try it… Here’s an interesting interview with one of the lead developers on the project. Sounds like Gentoo/FreeBSD is the best to try out if you’re inclined. Although… if they’re really just using Portage - I’m not sure the naming convention of Gentoo/*BSD is accurate … I would think it should be more like *BSD+Portage….

I will say this - the logo is pretty cool.
