LWN Looks at Gentoo GNU/linux

The state of Gentoo

,----[ Quote ]
| It's been three years since LWN last covered Gentoo Linux, so checking in on 
| Gentoo's activities since then seems appropriate. Let's start with a re-
| introduction to Gentoo. Gentoo is a source-based distribution that is unlike 
| the more common binary distributions because packages are compiled on your 
| machines rather than remotely on the distribution's infrastructure. Source-
| based distributions allow for far more customization than is possible with 
| binary distributions because you can not only control which packages are 
| installed, but also which features of a given package are enabled (and 
| consequently how many dependencies get pulled in).
