Here's a quick look at
Gentoo, on NewsForge. "What separates Gentoo from other
GNU/Linux distributions? It isn't really a distribution. It's more of a
meta-distribution, a collection of tools that manage the "from scratch"
approach. It doesn't have any packages per se, just ebuilds that describe
where the source packages can be downloaded, and how to include your
specified compilation preferences in the process."
