20 Introduction

22 Gentoo is turning 10. For the last ten years, Gentoo has been committed
23 to bringing the cutting edge source based distro to users that need more
24 flexibility than binary packages can give them. With a vibrant community
25 and over 300 developers, much has been accomplished since the beginning.

27 The anniversary date of 1999-10-04 was decided on by a couple of key
28 dates in Gentoo's history. The name Enoch was changed to Gentoo and the
29 domain name gentoo.org was registered. The founder of Gentoo Daniel
30 Robbins, gives us this chronology.
