> Gentoo support for Snap is roughly as "official" as RedHat/Fedora support. Still, if gentoo images can be customized at one's favorite cloud service provider, it may serve as a way to easily evaluate new codes, particularly codes that will require some effort to create a stable ebuild. That's what I'm hoping for is just a quick shot packager where the host is very secured, or outsourced, so security is somebody else's time_sink. What bummed me out is that Canonical is the only one that can create these packages for other distros? That's going to fly like a lead balloon, if that is the case. So the idea of a packges that also creates a (secure) container on a gentoo system that is otherwise, containerless, does get folks into the container/clusterr world rather quickly.... James
