To summarize the heart of Gentoo, imagine a user sitting in front of a Linux system. What does he or she want do to? The Gentoo philosophy is to allow this user to do what he or she wants to do, without getting in the way...
Portage will keep your Gentoo Linux system as "up-to-date" as you desire. 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. There's no need to wait several months for a "new version" of Gentoo Linux to be released because Gentoo Linux is continually updated and refined and these improvements are immediately made available to you... #Support for x86, PowerPC, UltraSparc, Alpha and MIPS processors #LiveCD-based installation for x86, PowerPC, UltraSparc and Alpha #Latest stable KDE and GNOME #Various optimized Linux kernels #Very modern GNU development environment #Excellent filesystem support: ReiserFS, XFS, ext3, EVMS, LVM #Excellent hardware support: NVIDIA, Creative Labs Live! and Audigy #Modular OpenGL and compiler sub-system (supports multiple co-existing versions) #Clean, dependency-based system initialization scripts #New "hardened" Gentoo security initiative #6000+ packages of the latest and greatest software #Enhanced Portage capabilities Great Yaar! Awesome for both --> newbie and Gurus.
