+Gentoo is a graphical file management program, written from
+scratch in C. It uses the GTK+ toolkit for its interface.
+gentoo is developed and tested primarily under Linux, but is
+known to compile and work on many other Unix-like operating
+systems as well.
+
+One of the design goals with gentoo has been to provide
+extensive customization and configuration abilities, and to do
+so from an integrated, graphic, interface. The user should not
+have to edit the configuration file directly "by hand", and
+especially not have to restart the program for changes to take
+effect.
+
+gentoo features a fairly complex and powerful system
+for file type recognition, coupled to an object-oriented style
+system, which together give you a lot of control over how files
+of different types are displayed and acted upon.
