Gentoo was initially supposed to be another Enoch Linux distribution. The goal was to create a distribution that was built from source code, tuned to the hardware, only included required programs, and decreased maintainer workload through scripting. A noble cause I might say, and at least one version of Enoch was distributed: version 0.75, in December 1999. After problems with a bug the developers system, Gentoo Linux was halted, and development switched to FreeBSD for several months. This led to Gentoo being described as a true next-generation ports system.
