No.  Gentoo is an anagram for "net goo".  Furthermore, "Gentoo Linux" is 
an anagram for "Tux, go online".  This why "Gentoo" was chosen.

Stupid me, I thought that is was because of this "They (Gentoo penguin) are 
the fastest underwater swimming penguins, reaching speeds of 36 km/h. Gentoo 
are adapted to very harsh cold climates."

That would likely be because cacert.org isn't a "trusted' authority by
default and that is the issuer for B.G.O., making the certificate
throw up a red flag if you choose not to add cacert.org to your
trusted authorities.

And finally there is no security risk in adding cacert.org to the

Well, that's up to whether you trust that issuer not to give out
certificates to people using falsified credentials, setting up
phishing sites, etc. Any time you choose to allow a person outside of
yourself to decide who or what you trust, there's some element of
risk. That the Gentoo devs trust cacert.org to be their issuer for
b.g.o. is enough for me to feel that risk is worth it in my case, but
that's as much as I can really say.

I am relatively new, so have not fully understood what you say. What's
b.g.o, by the way? And how do I add it in trusted ones?

An alternative to adding new trust certificates to your machine,
consider simply changing the URL when you run into this problem::


Secure: https://

Unsecure but fine for just viewing: http://

Making http from https in that website still doesn't make it open!

What sucks is that you can't even get rid of the warnings even if you 
accept and add the cert to Firefox.  Every time you click on an 
attachment in a bug, you get presented with a warning dialog again, and 
again, and again, and again, until you get mad and start shooting 
bunnies.  That's because the domain changes with attachments (for some 
reason, b.g.o. uses subdomains instead of URLs to link to attachments.)

So it's either add cacert.org to your trusted authorities, or live in 
hell when browsing b.g.o.  IMO that's just stupid.  I want to trust just 
b.g.o, not every site out there that has a cacert certificate.  Stupid. 
  Just stupid.

For what it's worth (possibly nothing), from Wikipedia:

The application of *Gentoo* to the penguin is unclear, according to
the *OED<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OED>
*, which reports that *Gentoo* was an Anglo-Indian term, used as early as
1638 to distinguish Hindus <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindu> in India
from Muslims, the English term originating in Portuguese *gentio* (compare "
gentile <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gentile>"); in the twentieth century
the term came to be regarded as
derogatory<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derogatory>
.

This needs to be followed up.  One interesting publication would be

@article{calaby1999european,
  title={The European Discovery and Scientific Description of
Australian Birds.},
  author={Calaby, JH},
  journal={Historical Records of Australian Science},
  volume={12},
  number={3},
  pages={313--329},
  year={1999},
  publisher={CSIRO}
}

to which I do not have access.  However, this investigation is not
over.  The scientific name of the Gentoo Penguin is *Pygoscelis papua.
It should not be difficult to find the original description?*

Actually, the full nomenclatural information is:

*Pygoscelis papua* (J.R.
Forster<http://species.wikimedia.org/wiki/J.R._Forster>,
1781).  So there is a publication by J. R. Forster in 1781, describing this
penguin.

Okay so how do I add only b.g.o of the cacert.org and not others? Can
you tell me the step by step process?

As a small issue about the source of the name Gentoo, even though the
Gentoo Penguin was named as *Pygoscelis papua* by  Forster, that does not
really help us to know where the English Common name came from.   Forster
apparently worked in South Africa, so that may help.

A browser (e.g. Firefox) will pop up a warning that the particular website 
(b.g.o.) certificate or the CA root certificate that has signed the website 
certificate is not trusted.  Under Technical Details it says:  
"sec_error_untrusted_issuer"

So FF does not 'trust' CACert as the issuer of legitimate certificates, because 
CACert's root certificate is not stored in FF's list of SSL Certification 
Authorities.  If you go to Preferences/Advanced/Encryption/View 
Certificates/Authorities, you'll see that CACert is not in there.

At that moment you need to click on the relevant buttons of the warning 
message and ask the browser to accept the certificate.  There should also be 
some tick box asking the browser to store the certificate as trusted 
permanently.

If you click to add this exception permanently you can click on View to see 
the details of the SSL certificate chain.  There are 3 certificates in the 
bundle:

1. CA Cert Signing Authority

The details tell you that this is the Root CA (self-signed).  This is used to 
sign the second certificate.

2. CAcert Class 3 Root

The details tell you that this is a Class 3 Root certificate which is used in 
turn to sign the b.g.o. website certificate.

3. bugs.gentoo.org

This is the website certificate signed by 2 above.

Now if you click to permanently store the b.g.o. certificate, FF will store not 
just certificate number 3, but the complete chain of signatory certificates.  
You can examine these if you go to View Certificates and then Servers.

However, this chain of certificates does not implicitly trust certificates 1 and 
2 above - unless you import these from the CACert website.  In that case they 
will show under the tab called Others, because you have imported these 
yourself.  Having done that, then any website that has a certificate signed by 
CACert will be accepted automatically and you won't be warned out the Issuer 
not being a Trusted CA.

Not all browsers are the same or choose to behave the same way on this matter, 
but these are the basic principles.
