vDedicated Gentoo Linux Server
The concept of Gentoo Linux was devised in around the year 2000 by Daniel Robbins, a former Stampede Linux and FreeBSD developer. It was the author's exposure to FreeBSD and its "autobuild" feature called "ports", which inspired him to incorporate some of the FreeBSD software management principles into Gentoo under the name of "portage". The idea was to develop a Linux distribution that would allow users to compile the Linux kernel and applications from source code directly on their own computers, thus maintaining a highly-optimised and always up-to-date system. By the time the project released its 1.0 version in March 2002, Gentoo's package management was considered a superior alternative to some binary package management systems, especially the then widely-used RPM.
Gentoo Linux was designed for power users. Originally, the installation was cumbersome and tedious, requiring hours or
even
days of compiling on the command line to build a complete Linux distribution; however, in 2006 the project simplified the
installation procedure by developing an installable Gentoo live CD with a point-and-click installer. Besides providing an
always up-to-date set of packages for installation with a single command, the other important features of the distribution
are excellent security, extensive configuration options, support for many architectures, and the ability to keep the system
up-to-date without re-installing. The Gentoo documentation was repeatedly labelled as the best online documentation of any
distribution.
