Gentoo Linux
From Funtoo Linux
Gentoo Linux is a source-based Linux distribution created by Daniel Robbins. It uses Portage as official package management system which original design was based on FreeBSD's ports. The main portage's utility is called /Emerge that is written in Python and can be used to install/uninstall packages. Make.conf is Portage main configuration's file, because it contains many variables. For example, the best known : CFLAGS,CHOST,CXXFLAGS,USE, INPUT_DEVICES, VIDEO_CARDS,LINGUAS,GENTOO_MIRRORS.There are also many optional's variables like PORTDIR_OVERLAY. In this Linux distribution, the user compiles the source code locally according to their chosen configuration in order to improve their system and also to learn more about Linux.
