I don't recall seeing anything on the list about Gentium.
I just saw a reference on Linux Today.  It's released under an open 
license SIL Open Font License 
<http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&item_id=OFL>, 
which looks pretty unencumbered.  Says you can use it, embed it, modify 
it, you just can't sell it.

It's quite easy to install, go to the GNU/Linux page, where they have a 
Debian version, an RPM, and a tarball:
http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&item_id=Gentium_linux

I used the RPM on FC4 and installation went quick, just 'rpm -Uvh ......'

It's a very attractive roman-type font.
