Special Information
Gentoo Linux is a computer operating system built on top of the Linux kernel and based on the Portage package management system.
It is distributed as free and open source software.
Unlike a conventional software distribution, the user compiles the source code locally according to their chosen configuration.
Where source-code is available, Portage normally supplies no precompiled binaries, continuing in the tradition of the ports collection.
The development project and its products are named after the fastest-swimming penguin, the Gentoo, to reflect the potential speed improvements of machine-specific optimization.
Gentoo package management is designed to be modular, portable, easy to maintain, flexible, and optimized for the user's machine.
Gentoo describes itself as a meta-distribution, "because of its near-unlimited adaptability", in that the majority of users have configurations and sets of installed programs which are unique to themselves.
