'''Gentoo Linux''' is a high performance, source-based [[Linux distribution]]. It has an advanced *[[Berkeley Software Distribution|BSD]]-style [[package management]] system called [[Portage (software)|Portage]] which is written in [[Python programming language|Python]]. Gentoo is often referred to as a [[meta-distribution]] because of its high level of configurability. This includes the optional use of "USE flags" (in the Portage system), which describe the hardware and software features the user would like to include while building packages. The originator and current head of the Gentoo project is [[Daniel Robbins]].
