A source-based meta-distribution where packages are compiled with your own optimization choices.
About
Gentoo builds software from source using its Portage package manager, giving fine-grained control over compile options, dependencies and system scope. It is highly flexible and well documented, but demands more time and knowledge than binary distributions.
