Gentoo is a free operating system based on either Linux or FreeBSD that can be automatically optimised and customised 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.

Thanks to a technology called Portage, Gentoo can become an ideal secure server, development workstation, professional desktop, gaming system, embedded solution or something else - whatever you need it to be. Because of its near-unlimited adaptability, we call Gentoo a metadistribution.

More details can be found at the Gentoo Linux website.
