Hi, This is my first post to the list. I've been lurking and reading mostly to get a feel for the conversation going on, most of it over my head but all of it interesting :) Anyway, I'd definately be keen in this Gentoo installfest. I have been playing around with installing 2004.3 on my dual-boot machine and can get it up and going but there are things I am unsure of such as security and other bits and pieces. So if it's possible i'd like to attend please.
