Gentoo is an approach to building a Linux system which automates
fetching and compilng all* parts of the system from source code,
similar in concept to the FreeBSD ports system.  Its design makes it
extremely flexible and customizable.  Ted will talk about his
experience using Gentoo at work and at home.
