Gentoo VPS

Posted by admin under Gentoo VPS, VPS

Gentoo is a portage based operating system using the Linux kernel. Its package management is based on FreeBSD. Unlike most Linux distribution the packages are compiled from source that contributes easy customization and makes all packages optimized for the machine’s hardware which ensures speed and reliability.

Gentoo is for advanced Linux users who want speed, minimalism and reliability. Gentoo provides complete control over the operating system, it is very well suited for system developers who know what they’re doing.

Package management is easy with portage, when you install a package the dependencies are automatically resolved with emerge and the user actually sees what is happening when the packages are being compiled from source.

Although Gentoo is for advanced users the Gentoo community is helpful and plentiful in variety of languages.
