If you ask around about Gentoo, chances are you will
get mixed reviews : some will say it is a waste of time, others
will say it is only for ubergeeks, yet others will tell you it is
the only way, but no one can deny the power that Gentoo offers in
terms of choices and speed. Gentoo is a rolling release
distribution, which means it has no release numbers and it is
updated continuously.Gentoo is also a source-based distribution,
which means that everything you install you must compile
first.
