That was entirely the point of the hackfest. On Debian, Ubuntu, and soon to be Fedora, the LTSP chroot will be built using the local package management tools, and packages.

We look forward to working with Novell, Mandriva, Slack, Gentoo, et. al. in the future to help them to fit into this model as well.

I'd certainly like to help get Gentoo working properly with this. Where do I sign up?
