What is Gentoo?

Gentoo is a relatively young linux distribution with an innovative approach. Trying to describe the big difference in one sentence, its heart is a system called Portage, which implements a way of automatically building software from source, hence giving you maximum configurability and optimization while still not requiring you to do the manual compile steps.
