Gentoo user since 2005

Of the many wikis I have accounts on, I'm most active on the English Wikipedia (which I have been editing since 2002). Please see my user page over there for more information about me. Leave comments or questions about my activities on this wiki on my talk page here. You can also e-mail me if it's particularly urgent. (But note that if I'm in the process of editing this wiki leaving a message on my talk page is much better since I'll be notified the next time I load a page or preview an edit.)
Please note that I'm still somewhat of a Linux newbie. I first installed Gentoo in the fall of 2005, after having (e)migrated from Windows 95 (and Windows 3.1 before that) — but I don't really do any "under the hood" work on it unless something breaks (in which case I just scour the forums for advice). So keep that in mind if you want to ask me a question about Gentoo.
My system
In case I post something that requires more information about the system I'm using, here are some specs (as of 2012-01-02 — see the history of this page for older info):
- 4 GB RAM (4 GB swap partition)
- gnome-2.32.1-r1, gtk+-2.24.8-r1, gtk+-3.0.12-r1, xorg-server-1.11.2-r2, xorg-drivers-1.11
- firefox-3.6.20
- perl-5.12.4-r1
- anything else important can be gleaned from the next section
