About Gentoo, in fact, I'll be very surprised if Gentoo is popular among sugar
end users, but I use Gentoo and furthermore it helps me test sugar in various
environments: I've built sugar (both 0.82 and 0.83), at first sight, it works
- does basic operations (no errors in logs)

But my current focus is altlinux - its a local Russian distro. The main purpose
of porting sugar on altlinux is the fact that it takes part in state-program "FOSS
for schools" - there is school-specific distro. I've uploaded sugar-fructose to
unstable altlinux's repo (the same status like on Gentoo) and work now on Russian
localization (whole this week). After back porting to school branch I suspect
broader feedback
