+        <h2>Gentoo</h2>
+            <p>
+                Gentoo is a bleeding edge <em>source based</em> distribution.
+                It provides only source code in its repositories, and the <em>emerge</em>
+                package manager automatically compiles the source code for you
+                along with all dependencies, when installing packages. This makes
+                the distribution extremely configurable. It's common in Gentoo
+                to see 10, 20 or even 30 versions of the same package, with different
+                patches, and you can mix and match.
+            </p>
+            <p>
+                Gentoo provides non-free software by default, but you can configure
+                the package manager when installing it, so that it doesn't let
+                you install non-free software. This way, you will end up with a 
+                completely free system.
+            </p>
