+<h2>What is Gentoo?</h2>
+
+<p class="lead">
+  Gentoo is a free operating system based on either Linux or FreeBSD that can be automatically optimized and customized for just about any application or need.
+  <br>
+  Extreme configurability, performance and a top-notch user and developer community are all hallmarks of the Gentoo experience.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+  Thanks to a technology called <strong>Portage,</strong> Gentoo can become an ideal secure server, development workstation,
+  professional desktop, gaming system, embedded solution or something else—whatever you need it to be.
+  Because of its near-unlimited adaptability, we call Gentoo a metadistribution.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+  Of course, Gentoo is more than just the software it provides.
+  It is a community built around a distribution which is driven by more than 300 developers and thousands of users.
+  The distribution project provides the means for the users to enjoy Gentoo:
+  documentation, infrastructure, release engineering, software porting, quality assurance, security followup, hardening and more.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+  To advise on and help with Gentoo's global development, a 7-member council is elected on a yearly basis which decides on global issues,
+  policies and advancements in the Gentoo project.
+</p>
+
+<h2>What is Portage?</h2>
+
+<p class="lead">
+  Portage is the heart of Gentoo, and performs many key functions. For one, Portage is the software distribution system for Gentoo:
+</p>
+
+<p>
+  To get the latest software for Gentoo, you type one command: <kbd>emerge --sync</kbd>.
+  This command tells Portage to update your local "Portage tree" over the Internet.
+  Your local Portage tree contains a complete collection of scripts that can be used by Portage to create and install the latest Gentoo packages.
+  Currently, we have more than 10000 packages in our Portage tree, with updates and new ones being added all the time.
+</p>
+
+<p class="lead">
+  Portage is also a package building and installation system:
+</p>
+
+<p>
+  When you want to install a package, you type <kbd>emerge packagename</kbd>,
+  at which point Portage automatically builds a custom version of the package to your exact specifications,
+  optimizing it for your hardware and ensuring that the optional features in the package that you want are enabled—and those you don't want aren't.
+</p>
+
+<p class="lead">
+  Portage also keeps your system up-to-date:
+</p>
+
+<p>
+  Typing one command (<kbd>emerge -uD world</kbd>) will ensure that all the packages that <em>you</em> want on your system are updated automatically.
+</p>
