'''Gentoo Linux''' is a [[Linux distribution]] built almost entirely from [[source code|source]]. It has an advanced package management system called [[Portage (software)|Portage]]. Some consider Gentoo a meta-distribution because of the incredibly flexible installation process. The originator and current head of the Gentoo project is [[Daniel Robbins]].
 
One of the goals for Gentoo Linux 1.4 is the addition of the '''GRP'''--the ''Gentoo Reference Platform''--which will allow users to install precompiled packages built to certain baselines specifications. This may be an attempt to appease naysayers; some believe that Gentoo users spend too much time compiling and recompiling common packages.
