Ho all, dumm question: is it possible to use the GekkoScience 2pac to mine altcoins ?
The 2Pac will mine sha256 coins. The ASIC (the chip that does the hashing work) is specifically built for performing sha256 hashes. It will not do other work. xhomerx10 posted a link to a page listing the types of coins the 2Pac can mine:

I'm not an expert, but it appears so. Searching for "cgminer" and the name of any coin in that list I've searched for so far has returned results and examples, and if you can mine it with vh's build of cgminer then you can mine it with a Gekkoscience 2Pac, simply by changing the pool URL in your cgminer command line.
