Just checked. We're apparently still supporting Gnumeric [1] in Gentoo.
Gentoo is going to have the most up-to-date software for alpha in any
case, but it's probably going to be less fun installing. Raul Porcel
runs a tinderbox to check for potential problems and it caches the
built packages here [2] so you could probably speed up the
installation a lot by telling Portage to use these binary packages.
We're in #alpha and #gentoo-alpha on irc.freenode.net and would love
to have you there too (and would be glad to help).
Thanks,
Matt
