I just tried a ganglia install from EPEL; absolutely no issues
at all. Perhaps if you'd bother to actually document these
conflicts one of us might be able to help. That is if we're
still willing.
I can't speak to your claims of 3.1.7 having bug fixes and
the multicpu issue; but I saw no conflicts with EPEL's 3.0.7.

Gentoo is fine for a toy os. Claiming Gentoo is "enterprise" is
just silly.

Kids? Heh. 17 years? Heh. You're a youngster. Let me know
when you've got 25+ years in the industry and then I might be
impressed :)
