I don't mind doing a gentoo install at all. My vacation was pushed back so I don't think I'll be having any issues running this. I'll plan on doing a gentoo, mint, debian arch and centos. If anyone wants to change those out with something else I dont mind, but I think that should hit everyone pretty well, I'll probably do a split screen install so we can do longer ones beside the short ones (like gentoo on left and while its compiling do a mint then debian)
