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.

This is my current distribution, and it is one of the coolest I’ve ever seen.
Its main disadvantage is the constant building and the cpu cycles wasted. But this its main advantage also! Who else may claim that his system is as unique as his/her fingerprint? I can 
This is not just a poser moto. It is the heart of everything! How many times haven’t you tried to upgrade your distro from one version to another and the rpm databases failed? How many times did your mysql failed during a package manager decided upgrade? Well no more with this distro. Everything works as they ought to, though you may have to compile something every once and while
It Just Rocks
