Gentoo Linux - Versatile and fast, free x86-based Linux distribution.Updated by FastRunneron Tuesday, May 08th 2007.
Gentoo is a free operating system based on either Linux or FreeBSD that can be automatically optimized and customized for just about any application or need. Extreme configurability, performance and a top-notch user and developer community are all hallmarks of the Gentoo experience. Unlike other distros, Gentoo Linux has an advanced package management system called Portage. Portage is a true ports system in the tradition of BSD ports, but is Python-based and sports a number of advanced features including dependencies, fine-grained package management, "fake" (OpenBSD-style) installs, safe unmerging, system profiles, virtual packages, config file management, and more. Gentoo Linux is a compelling choice for people desiring a flexible, powerful community-based Linux
distribution.
