Wikipedia says this about Linux;
Linux is a computer operating system and
its kernel. It is one of the most prominent examples of free software and of
open-source development: unlike proprietary operating systems such as
Windows and Mac OS, all of its underlying source code is available to the
public and anyone can freely use, modify, improve, and redistribute it.
and this about Gentoo Linux:
Gentoo Linux is a Linux distribution named
after the Gentoo Penguin. It is designed to be modular, portable, easy to
maintain, and optimized for the user's machine. This is accomplished by
building all tools and utilities from source code, although, for
convenience, several large software packages are also available as
precompiled binaries for various architectures. Gentoo achieves all this via
the Portage system. Gentoo is also appreciated for its discussion forums and
the large knowledge base they represent.
The links below go to either a how-to on
installing the Compaq W200 Wireless Module on the Evo n600c laptop, using Gentoo
Linux, and the other is a description on installing Gentoo Linux on an old
Pentium laptop.
