Yes it works fine, I downloaded a kernel.org 2.6.2 patched it with supermount and copied my old 2.6 .config and compiled it and it worked ok. gentoo is a good distro where for example with kde i get the virgin kde look and not a altered or crippled look. Certainly a distribution with immense potential. The ony criticisms I have are 1. Installation could be improved a lot, but i here that some scripts are there to help in this. If so they could be referenced in the installation handbook. 2. Documentation seems to be missing, things like how to select newer sources etc, fortunately this is offset by the superb technical support from this list. 3. you need a large bandwith connection and a farely high cpu (>500mhz ) machine to get gentoo installed.
