Gentoo GNU/Linux on an SGI Octane

UPDATE: gentoo/octane is released. CLICK HERE!

Finally!

More info will be coming soon. Just come teaser to get you interested 😉

I AM running Linux 4.12 in full 64 bits, gcc 8, a current glibc, and all the modern software. WITH audio. WITH accellerated graphics. And my root volume is on 3x147GB SCSI Software RAID-0 stripeset goodness. And yes, I do have multiple backups. Boom!
