Gentoo Linux, Based on the Portage Management System

,----[ Quote ]
| The Gentoo Linux operating system (pronounced /ˈdʒɛntuː/) is a Linux 
| distribution based on the Portage package management system. The development 
| project and its products are named after the Gentoo penguin. Gentoo package 
| management is designed to be modular, portable, easy to maintain, flexible, 
| and optimized for the user's machine. Packages are normally built from source 
| code, continuing the tradition of the ports collection, although for 
| convenience, some large software packages are also available as precompiled 
| binaries for various architectures.

| The state of the foundation is not something that will stop the kernel team 
| from releasing kernels, the KDE team from working their butts off so KDE 4 
| compiles on everyone’s machine, or the release team from creating and testing 
| the forthcoming release. The same people are hard at work doing the same job 
| they were doing two weeks ago.

Gentoo 2007.0 [Review]

,----[ Quote ]
| Like most major distros, it's not that often that we see a new
| release from the Gentoo team. In fact, it's twice a year, which
| is still more often than few others. The difference with Gentoo
| though, is that the new releases are not always awaiting much
| anticipation, since the bulk of the updates can be had through
| the system updater, Portage.

Review: Gentoo 2007.0

,----[ Quote ]
| While Gentoo has kept up graphically with its sexy interface, it's
| been left several miles behind in terms of usability as the elite
| for Linux enthusiasts. The problem is that it's missing so much
| genuinely helpful GUI configuration, even enthusiasts are going
| to start considering an easier life.

| Gentoo remains an excellent choice for users who want a completely
| customized distribution with an excellent package system, but it
| will never be practical for many Linux users. The inclusion of a
| graphical installer seems helpful, but it ends up taking away the
| instruction and customization that a by-hand Gentoo installation
| can provide. Anyone wishing to get into the meat of their machine
| should stick with the installation instructions provided with
| Gentoo and go through the process himself.

Want to Learn Linux? Start With Gentoo

,----[ Quote ]
| Most people, of course, aren't interested in this level of
| appreciation, content to outsource that understanding to other
| people. And I suppose I am a bit of an anomaly, since one of the
| first things I'd do if I won Powerball would be to build my own
| car. But for those of you that are interested in Linux, there
| aren't many better places to start than Gentoo.
