Gentoo Penguin
The gentoo penguin ( ) (''Pygoscelis papua'') is a penguin species (or possibly a species complex) in the genus ''Pygoscelis'', most closely related to the Adélie penguin (''P. adeliae'') and the chinstrap penguin (''P. antarcticus''). The earliest scientific description was made in 1781 by Johann Reinhold Forster with a type locality in the Falkland Islands. The species calls in a variety of ways, but the most frequently heard is a loud trumpeting, which the bird emits with its head thrown back. Names The application of "gentoo" to the penguin is unclear. '' Gentoo'' was an Anglo-Indian term to distinguish Hindus from Muslims. The English term may have originated from the Portuguese ''gentio'' ("pagan, gentile"). Some speculate that the white patch on the bird's head was thought to resemble a turban. It may also be a variation of another name for this bird, "Johnny penguin", with Johnny being the Spanish counterpart of and sounding vaguely like gentoo. The Johnny rook, a pr ...

Gentoo Linux
Gentoo Linux (pronounced ) is a Linux distribution built using the Portage package management system. Unlike a binary software distribution, the source code is compiled locally according to the user's preferences and is often optimized for the specific type of computer. Precompiled binaries are available for some packages. Gentoo runs on a wide variety of processor architectures. Gentoo package management is designed to be modular, portable, easy to maintain, and flexible. Gentoo describes itself as a meta-distribution because of its adaptability, in that the majority of its users have configurations and sets of installed programs which are unique to the system and the applications they use. Gentoo Linux is named after the gentoo penguin, the fastest swimming species of penguin. The name was chosen to reflect the potential speed improvements of machine-specific optimizing, which is a major feature of Gentoo. History Gentoo Linux was initially created by Daniel Robbi ...

gentoo is a free file manager for Linux and other Unix-like computer systems created by Emil Brink. It is licensed under the GNU General Public License. gentoo is written in C using the GTK+ toolkit and the "two-pane" concept. Notable features of gentoo include its graphical configurability, file typing and styling system. gentoo's file typing system identifies the file type and then uses the respective style defined to determine its display in listings. It is reminiscent of Total Commander or Norton Commander,. The author mentions that "gentoo tries to capture the features, the look and feel of the legendary file manager from Amiga platform: Directory Opus." The package includes approximately 100 handcrafted icons for different file types. Additionally, many users like it for its speed, as it is relatively lightweight (see below). Name The word ''gentoo'' refers to a fast breed of penguin, the gentoo penguin. In spite of the name, it has nothing to do with the Gentoo Lin ...

Gentoo Code
The ''Gentoo Code'' (also known as ''A Code of Gentoo Laws'' or ''Ordinations of the Pundits'') is a legal code translated from Sanskrit (in which it was known as ) into Persian by Brahmin scholars; and then from Persian into English by Nathaniel Brassey Halhed, a British grammarian working for the East India Company. ''Vivādārṇavasetu'' is a digest of Hindu law in 21 sections (taraṅga) compiled for Warren Hastings by the pandits. The translation was funded and encouraged by Warren Hastings as a method of consolidating company control on the Indian subcontinent. It was translated into English with a view to know about the culture and local laws of various parts of Indian subcontinent. It was printed privately by the East India Company in London in 1776 under the title ''A Code of Gentoo Laws, or, Ordinations of the Pundits''. Copies were not put on sale, but the Company did distribute them. In 1777 a pirate (and less luxurious) edition was printed; and in 1781 a second edi ...
