I'd love to see time being given to Gentoo. They're basically up there with Debian in terms of supporting "alternative" architectures

According to the Handbook. They currently support

Alpha, AMD64, ARM, ARM64 HPPA/PA-RISC, IA64, MIPS, PPC, PPC64, SPARC and x86 (i486 and i686)

Beyond even. A while ago Debian dropped support for Alpha, IA64 and PA-RISC. Even SPARC isn't supported anymore.

You gotta love an arch that can reorder dependent reads.

Which arch permits reordering of dependent reads? Might you have any resources you could share? Thanks.
