It might work, but it would take a lot of time and if everything works under win, why do you want to move to gentoo? If you are really certain that it's specifically gentoo that you want and nothing else, please read the docs at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/index.xml the handbook explains how to work with portage, what masked packages are, etc. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
