	Gentoo Linux - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gentoo is also appreciated for its discussion forums and the large knowledge base they represent.
		The Gentoo Linux 1.0 was released March 31, 2002.
		Gentoo was the first distribution to offer a fully functional 64bit Linux computing environment (user space and the kernel) for the PowerPC 970 (G5).

	Gentoo Linux (Linux Reviews)
		Gentoo was originally designed for the x86 architecture, but it has been ported to many others due to the highly-portable nature of Linux, gcc, glibc and Portage.
		Gentoo was the first distribution to offer a fully functional 64bit Linux computing environment (user space and the kernel) for the PowerPC 970 architecture.
		Gentoo is sometimes criticized for poor QA (though possibly this is an unavoidable consequence of focusing on having more "up-to-date" versions of software available), unstable "stable" branches and for having a closed "upper management elite".

	Gentoo Linux \| Linux Journal
		Installing Gentoo Linux is a more manual affair than is installing the commercial distributions; however, there is talk in the Gentoo forums of building a graphical installation that will automate many of the tasks.
		Gentoo Linux offers an option for the user who wants an easily and highly customizable system that also can be kept up to date with ease.
		BTW, Sorcerer Linux is built for sysadmins -while it's easy to install/use by a newbie-, but imagine that every sysadmin needs to follow every package he installed and see wether it's corrupted or not -which is the case in Gentoo since you need to do that manually-.

	Linux.com \| Gentoo Linux
		Gentoo Linux is a special flavor of Linux that can be automatically optimized and customized for just about any application or need.
		Gentoo Linux is a source based distribution, with a powerful package management system.
		And because of this, experienced Gentoo users don't pay too much attention to "new versions" of Gentoo Linux -- after all, the latest and greatest version of Gentoo Linux is always available by typing an emerge sync command.

	FileForum \| Gentoo Linux (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Gentoo Linux is a versatile and fast, completely free Linux distribution for x86, PowerPC, UltraSparc and Alpha systems that's geared towards Linux power users.
		Best Linux distro for (there is a for) -at least slightly- experienced people who want control on their os and don't want to be assaulted by dozens of scripts for any basic task.
		Only consider Gentoo Linux if you have the time to invest, if you do however, the payoffs are worth it.

	Gentoo Linux (Linux Reviews)
		The whole process is described in detail in the Gentoo Linux Handbook.
		Portage is a true ports (package management) system used by Gentoo Linux in the tradition of BSD ports, but is Python-based and has a number of advanced features including dependencies, fine-grained package management, fake (OpenBSD-style) installs, path sand boxing, safe un-merging, system profiles, virtual packages, configuration file management, and more.
		Gentoo has a security limit on XFree that only allows the same user (from the same machine) use the X server.

	Watching Gentoo Linux grow up
		That said, Gentoo Linux is maturing quickly, and the system's source code-based software installation mechanism makes Gentoo a flexible distribution and a good fit for testing the latest versions of key open-source software components.
		Gentoo, in contrast, is for the most part a "from source" distribution.
		Gentoo Linux ships with a tool called Portage (based on FreeBSD's Ports tool) that lets administrators acquire and update software by downloading source code and compiling applications to suit their particular system.

	Gentoo for All the Unusual Reasons \| Linux Journal
		Gentoo's reputation (in large measure pushed by the people who develop the distribution) is that it's for people who want super crazy optimizations, and it really is suitable only for those who use desktops.
		Gentoo takes time, but not as much as people would have you belive, I can setup a debian system in 15 minutes, the count for gentoo (stage3 with binary packages) is about 20 minutes, and its alredy more of a system that I would like to be using.
		Gentoo's portage overcomes a huge number of shortcomings of all distributions based on rpm's, and yet this is still just one of it's many strengths.

	Installing Gentoo LG #106
		Gentoo consists of text configuration files ("ebuilds") that tell the package manager where to download the upstream source from, which patches to apply, and how to compile and install it.
		Gentoo 2004.2 had just come out, but my CD was 2004.1.
		The Gentoo install disk is also a rescue CD, but this one has better hardware support and a wider selection of utilities.

	Gentoo Linux -- Gentoo Linux News
		The Gentoo Overlays project, together with other groups including Gentoo Infrastructure and User Relations, is pleased to announce the availability of a new service to provide a single source for development overlays.
		They are maintained and distributed separately from Gentoo's main package tree, and they allow anyone to deliver extra packages for the award-winning Gentoo Linux distribution.
		Gentoo is presenting at Linux World Conference and Expo in San Francisco, Oregon State University's Open Source Labs is running their Rackathon, and introducing PyBugz, all in this week's Gentoo Weekly Newsletter.

	Planet Gentoo
		The Gentoo Release Engineering team proudly announces the release of Gentoo Linux 2006.1, the second release of the year.
		Linux 2.6.17 kernels won't boot from the onboard SATA controllers on VIA SP13000 boards (and, reportedly, SP8000 boards too, but I don't own one of those to verify the problem on there).
		When I think about where Gentoo was when we turned into a democracy years ago, and where Gentoo is now, I don't see much of a difference on the large scale.

	Gentoo Linux Documentation -- A short guide to Gentoo/FreeBSD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Contrary to Linux, which actually only refers to the kernel, FreeBSD is a complete operating system, consisting of a C library, userland tools and much more.
		Contrary to the Linux kernel, FreeBSD development is not led by one person, but instead managed by a small group of people called the Core Team.
		Configuring and compiling a custom kernel is really different from compiling Linux, so if you are not familiar with the process we encourage you to have a look at chapter 8 of the FreeBSD handbook.

	Making the distribution, Part 1
		For every Linux geek there's a time when Linux becomes more than just a name and reveals itself as something more wonderful, powerful, and intriguing than anything a developer has ever encountered.
		If you're anything like me, before you were exposed to Linux and open source you looked to those big companies in Redmond and Cupertino to provide a next-generation operating system that finally worked exactly the way you wanted it to.
		A sincere desire to help others is a great ticket into the Linux community because this sentiment is at the heart of all open source development (including Linux).

	Gentoo Linux founder leaves Microsoft
		Robbins shocked the Linux world in June 2005 when he announced in a note to the Gentoo Foundation Inc. that he was leaving Gentoo to help "Microsoft to understand Open Source and community-based projects."
		Microsoft's Linux and Open Source Lab is devoted to testing and comparing Windows and Linux in legacy environments, including the effectiveness of each platform's patching process, and checking on how Microsoft integrates and/or supports open-source code in its products.
		Gentoo Linux remains a popular Linux distribution for technically adept users.

		For people just reading the headline, it might mean : "Server running Gentoo Linux has been hacked" or "a Gentoo Inc. server has been hacked", but not "A server, including a mirror of Gentoo repositories, run by a sponsor using whatever Linux, has been hacked".
		Now that Linux has become a more viable solution to the e-business world, crackers every where are trying to catch up with changing times as well.

	New kid on embedded Linux block -- Gentoo
		Gentoo is a popular desktop and server Linux distribution, in which core system components are distributed as architecture-specific, native binaries, while all non-essential software packages are compiled from source, using a "portage" system similar to the "ports" system in FreeBSD.
		"Gentoo Linux is slightly understaffed in the embedded area.
		Embedded Gentoo's hardening features may be added to the MIPS and PPC architectures, depending on interest, according to Mazinger.
