Gentoo
Gentoo Linux is distributed as free and open source software, but includes some proprietary software packages. Unlike a conventional software distro-you" class="alinks-link" title="Choosing the best linux distro">distribution, the user compiles the source code locally according to their chosen configuration. There are normally no precompiled binaries for software, continuing the tradition of the ports collection, although for convenience, some software packages (such as Mozilla Firefox and OpenOffice) are also available as precompiled binaries for various architectures where compiling would otherwise be very time consuming. |
