Hi,
I personally usually builds sage for Gentoo Linux x86, there are a number of
people who do so and on amd64 as well and I regularly build on ppc.
So I would put that in the expected to work category.
You could mention on that page that Mandriva and Gentoo have sage package
available. In the case of Gentoo it is in an experimental repo but we are
following closely (usually package are updated within 24 hours of a release).
Funtoo, a Gentoo derivative, seems to include us as well.
I don't know about other distro.

Thank you Francois,
At the minute I think we need an agreement of the overall plan of how we define
supported systems. I don't personally think either of the following are sensible
* Saying we support a whole distribution like "Debian".
* Saying we support the latest release of say Ubunta, when we don't necessarily
test on the latest release. We should state the version we test on.

I proposed having 4 classes of supported system:
# Fully supported
# Expected to work
# Probably will not work, but porting is ongoing
# Will not work, and porting will require substantial effort
Your gentoo would go into the "Expected to work" since we can reasonably expect
Sage would work, but nobody is checking *every* release builds on gentoo *prior*
to releasing.
As a matter of interest, what version do you build on? What versions of Gentoo
could you expect Sage to work on?
For Solaris 10, I only consider Solaris 10 update 7, as fully supported, as that
is all we test on (t2.math). Under "Expected to work" I would put Solaris 10
03/2005 or later. I usually test Sage on the March 2005 release and occasionally
on the 2010 release, but can't guarantee I can check them every time.
But without some agreement on a structure, its impossible to fill in the
details.
If all else fails, I might just complete
http://wiki.sagemath.org/suggested-for-supported-platforms
to the best of my ability and propose its implemented. I think almost any change
is better than no change, but it would be nice to get some feedback.
