GIG Media Rebrands - Gentoo

Just saw the GIG Media has rebranded to Gentoo.

Interesting thought from TAG Media's Tom Galanis on X (Twitter) regarding the rebrand name, as he points out that "Gentoo" is a derogatory word in Cape Town meaning "a prostitute; a woman of loose morals":

Wow! Certainly shows that you have to conduct due diligence when coming up with these names. Not a good choice of a name by any standard.
