It means that the distribution is build to provide choices instead of |
| 8 |
options. It means flexibility in the development process. Gentoo provides its |
| 9 |
users with a high-profile base system on which the user can do what he wants, |
| 10 |
instead of use what we provide. |

For a template, I think a combination of the terms "development" and |
| 13 |
"choice" would be what users should feel when looking at the slide. |
