Gentoo-Wiki, Gentoo-Portage hosting
If there's any Gentoo fans here, I'm sure you've heard of all the trouble Gentoo-Wiki and Gentoo-Portage are in now due to incompetent hosting.
I was just wondering whether Linode would consider sponsoring Gentoo-Wiki and Gentoo-Portage, at least to get them started. Mike Valstar, who maintains both sites, has posted the requirements on the interim page (http://gentoo-wiki.com/

Too bad. After reading his tale of woe, I think experiencing the stellar customer service at Linode would have cheered him up.
(I find myself with little sympathy for his tale of woe…)
EDIT: (And in all fairness, Mike acknowledges this)
