Hi Ioannis,

Gentoo is planned, though it is scheduled for after Debian/Ubuntu and FreeBSD support is completed--so it's at least a month or two away (and possibly more: I no longer try to make estimates for how long it will take to support a new OS, as it always takes at least three times as long as I expect it will). Slackware received more votes than Gentoo, as well, so it may have to come before Gentoo support even though I don't like the idea of working entirely without proper package management (though Jamie wrote a package manager module for Webmin to address just that problem to some degree). At least Gentoo has a package manager that handles dependency resolution and has nice command line tools, so I might bump it up above Slackware just because it will be faster and easier to support.

Hope this helps with your plans.
