 Posted: Sun Sep 03, 2006 1:51 pm Post subject: Explain the essence of Gentoo |
 |
|
Im just curious as to what I am supposed to tell my co-workers Gentoo is,
Something their fart joke, beer fest simplistic minds can comprehend.
Give me a good metaphor.
Like Gentoo is warm butter for your toasty supercomputer. |

| Quote: | What is Gentoo?
Gentoo is a free operating system based on either Linux or FreeBSD that can be automatically optimized and customized 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. |
